    I seesaters,
    I've seen NOSS 3-1 for the first time, unpredicted. I was watching the sky just 
    a little bit before going to bed with my unaided eyes and noticed a faint 
    satellite climbing in the sky from the south west horizon. Then I noticed this 
    sat have a companion. Both passed near Vega around 23:24 EDT. I was pretty sure 
    at that time I was seeing one of the new pair of NOSS. I was right! Look at the 
    screen capture from Guide 8: http://pages.videotron.com/leboutte/noss_3-1.gif. 
    Very nice show!
