Already on the day after Ed's mail I noticed that Insat 2D reached 20 degrees in az 224 at convenient hours. FWIW, I watched intermittently 19:40-21:00 for 2-minute intervals - but that was RA 07:00 to 08:20, and I saw no flashes. If I get clear weather in the weekend at Malma, it will be (in the SE) at RA 14:20 at 23:00 local (daylight) time. OTOH, the increasing Solar declination should push the flashes further south, and my latitude (+59) could make the flashes invisible, or at least move them considerably, depending on the rotation axis. >Datum: Apr 2, 2005 11:19:33 AM >Till: seesat-l@satobs.org >Ärende: PPAS reports, plus > >24820, Insat 2D (rapidly eastward-drifting near-geosynch, >seen around RA 14:20) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
