Some PPAS reports, plus a couple of other items: Intelsat 503 Centaur Rk (13007) -- 81-119 B 04-04-15 02:14:44 EC 120.9 0.3 14 8.63 Another take on NOAA 13 (22739), primary maxima only -- 93- 50 A 04-04-15 02:48:38 EC 150.4 0.3 8 18.80 0->inv Cosmos 2398 Rk (27819; was traveling along in parallel with its payload, about 5 deg sep), was somewhat irregular -- 03- 23 B 04-04-16 03:21:50 EC 47.6 0.4 12 3.97 UFO 8 Centaur Rk (25259), timed primary minimum -- 98- 16 B 04-04-17 03:09:50.5 EC 110.5 0.4 11 10.05 Fleetsatcom 1 Centaur Rk (12908) -- 78- 16 C 04-04-17 03:13:30 EC 92.6 0.2 9 10.29 NOAA 2 (06235) -- 72- 82 A 04-04-08 03:00:00 EC 110.6 2.0 4 27.7 +4->inv Atlas Centaur 2 Rk Debris G (00701) -- 63- 47 G 04-04-04 02:29:23 EC 35.6 1.0 11 3.2 Not PPAS. Cosmos 585 (73-064A, 06825) -- April 16 UTC. I wasn't expecting tumbles; looked away for some reason and couldn't find it when I looked back; got only these clicks: 6.61, 7.39, 4.37, 3.58, 3.78. Last night (2004-04-17 UTC) in spite of less than great conditions, I saw two maxima of the four-minute one in the ESE, last one at 3:35 UTC; it still seems to match with Cosmos 2291 (94-060A, 23267). Also saw Intelsat 506 (83-047A, 14077) from 5:04:08 to 5:13:51 UTC, just west of Procyon (alpha CMi); again with the phase shift. April 15 it was 4:53:27 to 5:04:56. So it's roughly five or six minutes later per night. It's about to go beyond our western horizon. Observing site: E. Ney Museumm grounds, 30.307N, 97.727W, 150m.
