Just reviewed Paul's posting from yesterday. Follows in part: This morning, the same geometry recurred from Houston (26 October 1997 from 10:57:41 to 10:59:32) as the group passed through local elevation 34, azimuth 214 phase angle between 39 and 36 degrees. Again, a spectacular performance! I attempted to carefully concentrate on the maximum brilliance of each object and the time of rise and fade to certain magnitude levels. As one object faded, another one generally rose. My comments now: Other than the October month is really August :), he was observing the same pass that I observed this morning..only a little earlier and to his west, whereas mine was to the east. Notice that his flared in the southwest while mine were in the northeast and at a much lower elevation (az/el for mine was 18/16). Not being a great analyst on sun/satellite/viewer angles, I cannot derive any conclusions from this other than we are getting better info on when they do flare. Ron Lee
