On July 17 I was waiting for a pass of the ISS at 3:41 a.m. and was using my 7 X 35 binos to locate it low in the SSW when I saw three stars (sic) in a nice isosceles triangle. HMMM No stars formations in Capricorn like that. Look for ISS,,, back to triangle ??? NOSS ?? are they moving? Yes moving slowly. I followed them up until the went through the tail of Delphinus at 3:42:30. The next day I downloaded a TLE file from McCant's website and started hunting. Using the program Traksat I soon found my answer. It was one of the NOSS triad's: NOSS 2-3 C,D,&E. McCants file had 12 NOSS triads listed. If looking in a pair of binoculars from the city how many are visible ?
