Set up 8" (20.3 cm) telescope and was observing the predicted position by 2000 local on 27 Sep 96 (0200 UT 28 Sep). Switched between 7x50 binoculars and telescope. Nothing observed during the period up to 2027 local when clouds rolled in. Continued observing through telescope (intermittent short periods of seeing stars) until 2048 local when it cleared. Clouds ended observing at 2120 local (0320 UT 28 Sep). Suspect that IF visible, it will be around 2200 local (104.56 W, 38.95 N). Method of observing this type of satellite is to run Rob Matson's Skymap in the "Equatorial" mode to plot the satellites path relative to stars. Find a star (or group of stars) that is easily found, position the telescope at that position before the satellite is to arrive, then let the telescope's clock drive move toward the stationary geosynch. At the designated time, turn off the clock drive. My only conclusions from last nights obs is that Superbird A is too faint for my telescope under these viewing conditions (except of course for the short period of specular refelections which I have not yet observed).
