Three good passes of Starshine, ISS and Usa 144 tonight.
Starshine came by first. I spotted one flash at 01:37:21 UTC, June 22, 1999
azimuth 122, elevation 66, magnitude about 1.5. No other flashes were
spotted.
Next was ISS, making a fine pass in the northwest, about 5.5 seconds early
using this elset
ISS (ZARYA)

ISS at brightest was 0.5.
The final sat was USA 144. Using

USA 144 was 5 seconds early and was about 1.3 degrees NE of its predicted
path by Satspy 3.0. It passes so close to Arcturus at 02:21:00 UTC that it
became lost in that star's glare. At this time, it was 6.0 mag.
