OTV 2-1 failed to appear at the predicted time on 2011 Apr 10 at 01:54:18 UTC. Predicted magnitude was about 4; I could see to at least mag 8. I continued to watch for it for more than 15 min, but saw nothing else. There is a chance that it was unusually faint, but if it fails to show for other observers, then we can assume that it manoeuvred to change its orbit. Last reported observation was by myself, on Apr 09 at 01:36 UTC, in the following orbit: 1 37375U 11010A 11099.05592939 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 03 2 37375 42.8034 81.9089 0010499 203.5559 156.4435 15.80498466 04 Site 2701: 43.68764 N, 79.39243 W, 230 m Instrument: 25 X 100 binoculars Ted Molczan _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
