Objects were observed during 1994-1996 by Walter I. Nissen, Jr., CDP, at latitude 41 N. Mr. Nissan is grateful for assistance from Goddard Space Flight Center, Smithsonian Institution and National Capital Astronomers.
This list does not possess the universality of Mike McCants' catalog, but it does serve as a record of what can be seen under favorable conditions of illumination and reflection.
This list supplements the similar list complied on 7 July 1994, by Mr. Nissen and reported in Spacewarn Bulletin 490.
This list is complete for objects in orbit as of this date (14 July 1996) which were recorded at magnitude 4 or brighter. The magnitude shown is the brightest observed magnitude. When it was clear that a glint was being observed, the brightest observed glint is recorded after the asterisk. When both are provided, they may represent different passes.
When the name is a simple number, the object is from the Cosmos series; "r" denotes rocket body.
