    TDF 1 non-obs here.  I looked for 60-70 seconds every minute 
    or two from 1:53 to about 2:30 UTC (and saw some LEOs during 
    the breaks), and a couple of more times until about 2:45.  
    Transparency was not good; limiting magnitude with 10x50s was 
    about +6.0 I think.
    
    In spite of sky, I managed to see a few flashes of 90907, so
    the brightest ones must be about +6.0 (range 16,000-14,000 km).  
    They are during the last ten minutes or less before it enters
    Earth's shadow.
    
    Milstar 3 (99-023A, 25724) went between 51 and 52 SGR:
    2002/09/01 2:54:35.8 RA 19.605 Dec -24.8 (2000) -- maybe 
    about 4 or 5 seconds late (?).  
    
    Site was Ney Museum grounds: 30.307N, 97.727W, 150m. -- in 
    central Austin.
