    Hi folks:
    
     Per Tony's suggestion tonight I watched the same area again and
    recovered I belief the same object seen and posted on Sunday.  The
    object was found tonite  forming a 'kite' or 'diamond' with v1, v3 and
    'y' Centarus...
    
     Here are the  'rough' estimate of the positions and timing. Sorry - not
    using any specified format.
     Date: June 16 2003 ( monday)
     Time: UT,  RA - Dec as followed.
    
    1) 12:18:49  ,13h58m08.6s,  -45d14m14s
    2) 12:23:27  ,14h02m34.6s,  -45d13m55s
    3) 12:29:34  ,14h09m24.6s,  -45d17m04s
    4) 12:44:52  ,14h24m31.5s,  -45d24m59s
    5) 12:46:51  ,14h26m44.9s,  -45d26m42s
    
    The object was at least 7 minutes early  arriving at the same RA ( cf
    with June 15)  and less than 2 degree in Dec [some 24 hours ago].
    
    What is this satellite?
