I also saw it after shadow entry (in Albuquerque, 35N, 106W). I would say the magnitude was probably +4 (among the dimmest stars seen in the sky through binoculars in a no-so-light-polluted part of the sky) and I followed it for about 2 mins after shadow entry, but not quite to the "horizon" which was the Sandia Mountains in that direction. I first found the stack at about a magnitude 0 (and gold color) and it became white colored and brighter with a brightest magnitude estimate of -2 in the pass. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Robert Smathers - Albuquerque, New Mexico USA Satellite Services Guide columnist, MONITORING TIMES Magazine (robertsmathers@monitoringtimes.com) or (roberts@nmia.com) ALL NEW Robert's Satellite/Baseball WWW: http://www.nmia.com/~roberts/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
