Number 42 gave a remarkable performance Sunday nite (4/2/00) with what this amateur and newbie viewer can only describe as SPECTACULAR. Coming up right on time (appears that system operations still include station keeping), the initial and predicted -2 flare and dimming, was followed by a second breathtaking -8. Can't wait to see what tonite's pass in these parts of # 80 brings. Although I'm a now ex-Motorola/Iridium salesguy, I have NO insider knowledge of constellation operations. Anyone out there able to provide confirmation of all other "on-time" sightings?? True to form, we (will) miss something good more after it's gone. I'm hoping the legal issues keep this light show up and running for some time! 34.2388 -117.2327 5680' and VERY CLEAR ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
