Watched Noss 2-1 fly by to the N/E @ 21:40 (06/09/04)
Could only pick out 2 satellites - the lead and then the lower trailing one.
Was wondering if the third is visible and I just missed it?
This was my 1st try to see this groupe so I wasn't sure wat to expect.

I can't say for sure why you didn't see three, Ron, but when I saw
them last night, they were all the same magnitude. And they *barely*
fit in the field of view of my 8x40 binocs. The lead one was way out
in front of the other two.
