    Again a few minutes ago I was able to see the milstar 6 geo sat in my
tripod mounter 10*50 binoculars. I would estimate it's mag 8 and
brighter. The first time, that I saw it in binoculars was the morning of
June 2. I can't wait until geo sat flare month in Spet/Oct ,  It wouldn't
suprise me if this
one will be seen naked eye somewhere on earth.

I just got a new computer to replace my old one, so I haven't done any
satellite observing since the first week of June. My old computer
motherboard is toast, so I needed to upgrade to a newer motherboard. So I
now have a amd athlon xp 2600+ cpu with 1GB of ram.
My old one was an  intel pentium 4 1.4 GHz cpu with only 256 MB of ram. Now
I can capture and edit video way more easily.

Now to go  out and watch the milsatr 6 geo sat again.=20
