Did this happen to be need Altair??? I saw a bright blue -2 or slow flash from way out there... Many Meteors tonight... NO OTV1... Yet Derek -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+breit_ideas=poyntsource.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+breit_ideas=poyntsource.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Fetter Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 7:22 PM To: seesat-l@satobs.org Subject: Intelsat 1R goes naked eye :) Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ) easily reached naked eye magnitude tonight. I observed it, using a handheld night vision scope I have. What a great way, to celebrate 10 years of it being in orbit, as on Nov 16, 2000 it was launched on a Ariane 5 rocket. Video later.
