Early Thursday UTC (Wednesday evening local)
Telstar 401 (22927, 93-77A). I was able to observe nine
one-power flashes from Telstar 401, beginning at about 2:46
UTC. The brightest one seemed about as bright as Procyon
(+0.4).
SPOT 3 (22823, 93-61A) did some easy one-power flashes after
emerging from shadow low in the northeast at about 3:34 UTC.
MOS 1-A (17527, 87-18A) did several very bright flashes,
including doubles, some to negative magnitudes, on a pass
very low in the west at about 3:52 UTC. Two or three weeks
ago, it behaved similarly on a similar pass.
BCRC: 30.314N, 97.866W, 280m.
