Hello Don: Sounds good to me! We could see all three in the same field of the binocs and then could see it even with the naked eye. Not bad for a nearly full moon! It looked a little reddish and the three of us (Nancy, me, and one of my students) all could convince ourselves that it did not quite look starlike (just a tad fuzzy).
On top of that, saw ISS at -27 magnitude and the shuttle 90 degrees behind at -1.5 or a little brighter. Not a bad evening!
