We had what turned out to be a pretty nice, somewhat impromptu planet-and-satellite viewing party here Tuesday evening (early 24 Feb. UTC). Sue Worden had talked it up and also took an Austin Astronomical Society telescope to the site, Mt. Bonnell, a city park in Austin, Texas. Besides some AAS people and guests, there were at least a couple of coincidental passers-by who got involved as well. The sky was good but not perfect due to some variable high, thin clouds. Besides the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, we saw Mercury low and Saturn high. Then also the group, perhaps as many as a couple of dozen (?) people including children, saw a really good pass of ISS; Iridium 14 displaying a very nice episode of consecutive flashes that brightened, peaked (at approx. 1:10:30 UTC -- plus or minus 15 seconds as I only got rough times for the ends and none for the peak), and then dimmed over a period of more than a minute; and finally a really good flare (-6? -- some cloud interference) from Iridium 50. A few late-stayers saw a couple of flashes from Iridium 11 and two or three more from Iridium 14's second pass of the evening. There were also one-power passes of Cosmos 2306 Rk (23502, 25-8B), Okean 1 (19274, 88-56A), and Cosmos 2333 Rk (24298, 96-51B). (Before I left for Mt. Bonnell, I saw a good GRO pass from my apartment parking lot.) Ed Cannon - ecannon@mail.utexas.edu - Austin, Texas, USA
