I better get some more sleep. The other day, I observed molyina 1-81 flashing, every approx 20 seconds. I had wrote I observed that it produce a bright flash every 20 seconds. Last time I observed it, I got around 8 seconds. in message http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jul-2005/0264.html I can see I wasn't paying attention, as I for some reason was thinking of the molyina 1-88, when I was actually observing molyina 1-81. It was molyina 1-88 that flashed every approx 8 seconds. So I had discovered another flahing molyina by accident, as I aimed at the wrong satellite! And at the time I did know, I discovered another flashing molyina, I do now:) So I am a happy sat observer. It's fun to observe them flash. I beleive it's flashing earlier every night also like molyina 1-88, based on what I have observed playing back the video. I check on it tommorow night, if it's clear. Something to show people at a star party next week, a flashing satellite. That explains the difference in flash period, I had the wrong satellite:) Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
