TiPS was visible in my 10x50 binoculars during a high pass across the west yesterday evening. The limiting magnitude was approximately +4. At first, only the end masses were visible, then later in the pass, the end masses became invisible, and I was able to detect the tether. Following is QuickSat output for the pass: 30.310 97.881 920.
