I wouldn't mind having a look out for it. For all I know it
may be a bright as HST.

Problem is I can't see the satellite element. It doesn't look
like it's listed under Herschel. It could well have been
given another name.

Anyone know what it is, so that I can add it to Orbitron.

Ummm, it's about 800,000 miles from Earth already, so I wouldn't
get your hopes up. :-)

Elements are only published for Earth-orbiting satellites, right?

I see. Well no doubt with the effluxion of time you may be
pleased to let me know what category Herschel falls into. :-)
