Hi guys,
just spent a great week away in Churchill in the Latrobe Valley in Victoria under some much darker skies than at home. Took the 8inch dob along and checked out the sky. It was just great looking with the naked eye and binos. The LMC and SMC were easily seen with the naked eye, and the Milky way stood out brightly, as did The Pleiades and others...
Anyway, on Friday night the 28/12/07 I was grabbing a drink when Sharon and a couple of the guys were shouting that there were 3 satellites together, high in the sky travelling from a westerly to easterly direction at about 22:45.
We kept a lookout on the following night the 29/12/07 at around 22:45 and there they were again, this time I saw them. Even higher in the sky now, 3 of them very close together travelling from a wsw to ese direction. I have never seen more than 1 sat in a similar vicinity, but these were very close, possibly at different altitudes, but to the naked eye virtually in the same spot. I have checked heavens above for possible satellites but to no avail.
Anyone know which ones these may have been??
Cheers
