Hi!

My name is Jonathan Wojack.  My e-mail address is:
j_wojack@hotmail.com

I saw my first satellite last Sunday!  I saw two on that wonderful 
night.  Data below.
-------------------------------------------------------------
NAME                 TIME (EDT; add 4 hours for UT)   DETAILS
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lacrosse 3 Rocket   2140:30-2141:11   +2.7.  Sighted with naked eye, 
then binoculars (7x35's) .  Dazzling!  Limiting magnitude for naked eye 
is about +3.0 after twilight.
Cosmos 1703         2224:00-2224:15   +4.1.  Surprised at brightness.  
Very exciting!

2-for-17.  No "positive-negative" observations.

More observations coming!

Jonathan
