    Morning Phillip
    
    I have seen Ofeqs from time to time as "strays" and they were not difficult 
    objects - typically around mag +8. I have seen at least one rocket as a 
    naked eye object - was a lovely flasher and of course unique in going across 
    the sky the "wrong way".
    
    Now that official elements are no longer available I dont anticipate the 
    amateur network having any problems following the "missing satellites" so in 
    future instead of ignoring them as "strays" I will have to keep a watchout 
    for them :-))
    
    Best wishes
    Greg
