I did not find gorizont 16 in mid twilight SW, my error as to where it was 'hiding' could not see usa 144 in my NW, rob had the mag in the +8s. I watched milstar 3 in S from 0455 to 0510 UT, but it was +7 and the moon was bright, I am finding it difficult to shoot times that closely crosscheck (+/- :00.2s) on this slow mover in the moonlight with 5 deg fov. sat requires more discrimination for fine pts at 6500km range than I can see in binos in the moonlight. ******************************************* Paul Gabriel 26.24310N 098.21635W 34.8m the stars at night are big & bright...... gabriel305@earthlink.net titanp150 / win95C / calypso ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
