[AZ-Observing] Re: Another Big Balloon On Its Way

Currently due north about 15 degrees above the horizon from Tempe.  It is
really worth a look with a scope, even at 20x.  The payload is readily
visible as a very shiny point below the balloon.  I estimated its size as 5
arcminutes, which at a distance of 75 miles makes the balloon roughly 600
feet from top to bottom.
