Fellow sesaters,
Just been talking to an observer in near Sydney who saw
something that looks suspiciuosly like the Centaur stage
doing a geo transfer orbit burn and fuel dump manouver.
>From 0800-0815 UT May 9, a 2-3 mag extra star observed
between Orion & Gemini (RA 6h 15min, dec +13).
Went inside, came back out 0820 and it was an expanding
disk, visible till 0845UT. The observer was at 33d 37min S,
150d 43min East.
Was cloudy here in Adelaide, but anyway it would have been
to soon after sunset.
