I think the only way to see the triangle's actual shape is when
they are straight up. Otherwise, there are perspective effects
involved, although they're not too big until a triangle gets
down low in the sky.


Ah, okay. I forgot about the early (75 deg.) pass last night,
so the one I saw was only 20 degrees. I'll have to try to catch
some more passes and see how the configuration differs.

Well, tonight (Wednesday) I could only see two satellites, so
go figure. I had them in my binocs for a few minutes, so I should
have been able to find the third one nearby, but I never did.

The moon and Mars look spectacular in binocs tonight, though.
They're right next to each other. If you see this message in time,
run out and look at them!
