I was lucky to see Gorizont 13 (86-090A, 17083) last night.  
For the next several nights the Moon will be a big problem for 
one this faint.  (They weren't all as bright as +6.5.)

86- 90 A 01-10-26 04:00:39   EC 1755.6 0.5  21 83.60  +6.5->inv

Gorizont 23 (91-046A, 21533) is quite a bit brighter, and with 
its shorter flash period as well is more fun.

Again last night I saw without magnification some Superbird A
(89-041A, 20040) flashes.  Since its flashes are so bright, I 
was wondering if it might be possible for a photographer to 
get an interesting photo of Superbird A flashes near the Moon 
one of these nights.

Obs site:  E. Ney Musuem grounds -- 30.307N, 97.727N, 150m.

Part of my binoculars strap broke last night, and I learned 
how conveniently useful that strap is!
