Stardust not sighted from Santa Cruz
We attempted to view the Stardust reentry from Santa Cruz California,
from a site with unobstructed view of the northern horizon. Weather
conditions were excellent; a few scattered clouds, but the northern
horizon appeared to be cloud-free, major stars in circumpolar
constellations were readily visible to the naked eye (limiting
magnitude from about 3.5 to 4). We watched the northern sky from about
01:50 to 02:10 PST, however did not see any sign of the reentry.
