Must've been too short a post last time, as it was bounced. It said: "Just saw Omid's SAFIR 2 r/b (33507, 9-4B) give 3 flashes to 4th mag even though it only climbed to 15 deg up right over brightly lit building in downtown Tulsa! 3 flashes seemed to be about 15s apart - will try to get a better period on a better pass. Helped that it was near Deneb." So I'll add a bit... I really like satellite observing. I use binoculars, but other methods are cool too. Clear skies help. The weather was poor tonight, with a full moon lighting cirrus. Thought I saw a flashing satellite, but I was wrong. Hope I see the Omid payload Wednesday night! And, seriously, my prayers are with our friends Down Under.
