TiPS, Wow!

I saw TiPS last night, for the first time, from my home in Colorado Springs.
What a cool satellite! It has replaced EGP as my favorite sat to watch. I
actually saw it on two separate passes, one to the east at 21:15 MDT and
again at 23:03 MDT to the west. On the first pass, the tether was clearly
visible as a fine filament. Rather spooky looking. On the second pass, the
tether was barely visible, but I was able to see transient 'glints' off both
bodies (Ralph and Norton???).
I don't know who posted the elsets, but to whoever did, let me say thanks.
It made my evening.
Dave.
