I also had some multiple obs; the most memorable was on a particular evening last winter; I drove 10 km the watch a -9 Iridium flare. As the flare was fadind, the sat was still visible traveling S -> N, another sat crossed the Iridium path from East to West at a very closed angle. Back home, I checked on Heavens-Above and I think it was Cobe which was only 100 km higher than the Iridium. Another time last summer, I was watching Mir when a big meteor passed right in front of it; does that count as a multiple obs ? Finally, on March 26, Heavens-Above predictec two -8 Iridium flares only 2 minutes apart, azimuths separated only by 1 degree, elevation within 1 degree of each other, centers only 0.1 km apart, all that only 8 km from my place. It was Ir 54 which is at it's normal altitude and Ir 84, on a lower altitude (maybe a spare). But it was cloudy |:-( Pat Gambaro 45.8379°N, 73.9162°W ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
