I see Ed posted 17aug 56.01, so that would seem to be ~ 8.8 ms per day. it was not flashing at 0340, or at ~ 0400. I was not watching continuously from 0400 to the 0411 start time, do we know the relative sunangles to predict when it will begin flashing 27aug at my site. getting lower in SW, ~242+33 az+el tonight. flashes seem to be ~ +4 range, I did not look to see if it was visible naked eye. moon had risen and lower SW sky is relatively crummy. I could see a +3.7 1x, but I did not really hunt to see what else I could see unaided. with optics I was seeing mid-9s. warm 30C and calm tonight, high today 39C (in the shade) but I know better than to stand_out in the noonday sun. I hope the PPAS format is correct, I used an app named PPASinp.exe, but I'm not finding an author listed. cherrio ttfn ******************************************** Paul Gabriel 8305 26.24306N 098.21614W GPS (CT|UTC-6/-5) +35.97m USGS/NED, -25.22m EGM96 Geoid height +10.75m WGS-84 Ellipsoid height aka McAllen, Texas USA 78504-2940 "wherever you go, there you are" astro@pgog.net ******************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
