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. >> SeaSat will get bright from time to time. I've seen it go to at least a zero mag - primarily in the western sky for some reason. There's a good graphic of the object here: http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/files/images/browse/p20288.gif That antenna looks like a good source for a flare. NOAAs, DMSPs and Landsats are other objects that are known to flare. That being said - read the FAQ at http://www.fc.net/~worden/FAQ/ and some of the past threads on how various objects behave in the archives: http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/ Cheers Don Gardner 39.1799 N, 76.8406 W, 100m ASL Homepage: http://hometown.aol.com/mir16609/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
