    I could pass you my hot water bottle  :O)
    
    Seriously though , I'm surprised that we havn't had more sightings of SAFIR 2 .Its an easy target and rather
    impressive.
    
    Last night it seemed to have a very slight orange
    glow to it.
    
    I don't hold out much hope ( no pun intended ) for
    tonight's pass as the weather has closed in again , but
    if possible I'll use the scope to see if
    there's any indication of size...I think Geoffrey
    indicated it ( Safir 2 ) was about 5 metres in length , which should
    fill a few pixels :o)
