Aka. Kakehashi I'd never heard of this satellite, let alone seen it. I wasn't even looking for it since my software 'disqualified' it -- period too long. All the same, COMETS could hardly be missed last night (3/24) -- straight overhead pass, steady mag 0, and clearly gold in color. I was surprised that the passage wasn't somewhat faster considering it was at/near perigee. Just wanted to share. --Mike
