Using Alan Pickup's latest elsets, I caught a pass of Molniya 3-11 this
evening 11/30 local time. Using 15x45 binoculars, it was seen in nearest
approach to Delta Peg at 19:12:50 PDT with brightness about mag 6.
Following it through Andromeda into Cassiopeia, it flared three times to
about mag 0, duration < 1 sec., the last of which I saw at 1x. I wasn't
expecting to see that!
