I have been trying , over the last few clear nights we have had, to snatch
a glimpse of the Astra group of satellites(19.2 degs east ) from here in
N.W.England.....so far ,no joy.

In theory , it should be possible to spot them with a good pair of 8X30
bino's....but I wonder if I am wasting my time.
Has anyone else on the list managed to see the group  , or even captured
them on a timed exposure?  

Regards,

John.
