Just a short period it stayed clear. At 20:05 UT I saw ISS. It was S, mag 1 At 20:10 I went inside to watch CNN for the shuttlelaunch, just in time to hear it had been scrubbed for 24 hours due to high winds. A pitty I tought, as it would be making a visible pass, with the opportunity to see the External tank also. But coming outside again it started to clouded in from the southwest, so a pass would be hard to see, perhaps more luck tomorrow. Before it became all clouded I observed 2000- 06 B, a nice flasher. 97- 64 B was slowly flashing this pass. When last viewed april 9 it was S. 99- 39 B is a spectacular naked eye object, with its period slowly going up. 00- 6 B 00-04-24 20:33:54 LB 111.8 0.2 140 0.798 FF, 4->i 97- 64 B 00-04-24 19:55:11 LB 133.4 1.0 2 66.7 MM, 2->i 99- 39 B 00-04-24 20:02:19 LB 147.8 0.2 50 2.955 FF, 1->i Greetings and clear, dark skies Leo Barhorst 346 obs in 2000 52.767 N 5.09 E 2 m ASL ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
