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.   BCRC (Nike Site)         2000 15.0 15 F F T T T
