I looked for USA 160 r at 1x but no luck however with earlier reports of the
trailing objects 2 min behind i looked for them with my 10x50s and saw 2
objects in trail formation, approx 8 sec apart. I timed the lead object at
06:23:28 10 Sep UTC +/- 3 sec as it passed less than a degree to the left
(N) of a bright star but in the excitement of the observation i lost track
of which star it was i was using as a reference point. It was either Mirphak
or Almaak, i feel it was the later star. Anyway it was nice to see something
new in the night sky. This elset was used:
