Paul Maley asked me to forward the following message to the list. I wish I had been there also! ----- Forwarded message from PAUL MALEY <pdmaley@yahoo.com> ----- Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 18:11:31 -0700 (PDT) From: PAUL MALEY <pdmaley@yahoo.com> Subject: Shenzhou 6 and rocket sighted I observed and videotaped both Shenzhou 6 and its rocket this morning at 4:54 and 5:49 am local time (Beijing is GMT+8) from the Badaling portion of the Great Wall of China. Skies were perfectly clear, temperature 40 deg. F. Shenzhou appeared at magnitude 4 at elevation 64 degrees above the north. It brightened to +2 in the NE which was contrary to what I would have expected. The rocket was seen in very strong twilite and reached 35 degrees above the north. It was as bright as -0.5 and generally steady. Thanks to Ted for great predicts while I am here in China. Yesterday was cloudy and tomorrow clouds are expected to return. Over the weekend I will be in North Korea and there seem to be no passes visible. Paul Maley Paul D.
