Hi, I've just subscribed. Please forgive me if what I'm going to say falls under this heading: > avoid reporting too many 'I saw this satellite' messages without any >'added value' to it. Yes, Iridiums do flare up, and yes MIR >*is* bright. But that's no longer news. As I'm new in this I can't know if what I say has any "added value" or you have seen it a thousand times, but yesterday 8 august at 20:28 UT I was looking towards the zenit from 2.18E 41.35N , where a pass of Seesat-1 was predicted. I didn't see any satellite (which is not surprising), but I saw a bright flare, quite like an Iridium, magnitude perhaps -2, moving South. I checked later and heavens-above wasn't predicting any iridium for that date. Perhaps I saw a flare from Seasat-1. żDo you think that's possible? Is there any flare-prediction program out there which predicts flares from non-iridiums? I suppose these are most likely pretty dumb questions, so please forgive me. -- Jordi ___________________________________________________________________ Consigue tu e-mail gratuito TERRA.ES Haz click en http://www.terra.es/correo/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
