replies Hello all. Here are replies to some duplicate comments I received. For sync sats, and low sats fainter than mag 9, I use a Celestron 8" SCT. For sats mag 8-9, Celestron 20x80 binoculars. Brighter sats, 8x56 binoculars. Some observers have seen Comstar 4 R at 40000 km. Thanks for those replies. How about the rest of you? What are your distance records? When I asked about seeing 4 sats at one time, I excluded NOSS because they would not all be in a telescope eyepiece field of view. At best, they would be spread over a few degrees in binoculars. An interloper would cross them in a few seconds rather than move along together for a period of time. Jay.Respler@Genie.com Freehold, New Jersey
