Ed Cannon and I were able to watch 75-43A (DMSP 7) for about 1 minute this evening. It varied in brightness from about 6 to 9. The period was 30 seconds or so. It was within a couple of seconds of my previous elset, but it was about 1/2 degree east of the predicted position. I obtained the following positions: 30.3138N 97.8661W 920 ft Bee Caves Rsrch Ctr (Austin, Tx) Yr Mn Dy Hr Mn Sec R. A.
