The 1st one appeared to pass directly over gamma pegasus, the 2nd was thought to be about 1/2 degree under, and the 3rd also appeared to be at gamma pegasus but very slightly under the track of 1st.

If they can be of any use the times recorded for when the sats were vertically above beta pegasus are:1st= 00.58.09.65 UT 2nd= 00.58.12.76 UT 3rd= 00.58.15.34 UT Obs were done with 10 x 50 binoculars. It was cloudy during an earlier pass of these triplets, I had hoped to get points on 2 consecutive passes.
