On 2/17/02 at 19.01.11 viewed Starshine 3 between Capella and Menkalinan using 10 X 50 binoculars. Very faint in a break in clouds on a snowy day. This was my first sighting of either Starshine after a couple of attempts. Attempted but missed seeing Starshine 2 at 6d under Pleiades 3 minutes later. Saw Iridium #11 flare to -8 during a snow shower at 19.27.30 020az 42el, to much snow for good show. At 19.45.35 missed seeing ISS 1 and 1/2 degree under moon because of snow but did see it briefly in a break in clouds before it went into shadow. Tonite 2/18/02 under clear skies a good pass of ISS to 86 degree elevation, Iridium #3 flare to 0, and 1st time sightings by me were 4 Cosmos satellites and rockets and an Apex r #23198 Lat. 39.4697 Lon. -793393 Alt. 2573 ft ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
