Tried observing with an 8" around 04:00 UT on 9 Sep 99.

Range was around 40300 km and magnitude 11.3 objects would have 
been relatively easy to detect...fainter objects to  about 12 
likely with averted vision.

Using the following elsets (the later from OIG) I was unable to see 
Chandra.

A fresher elset from the Chandra folks may help.  Of course it is
possible the satellite was in an attitude making it too faint to see.
