Hi All It's been a long time since I posted anything to the group as I have had the last 2 years off observing I do however have the occasional glance up and on Monday 1 Aug 2005 whilst out in my back garden with the dogs I observed a very nice flashing satellite. My Location 50.7556N, 1.9083W Time Approx 22:06 GMT Position: Az 45 , Elv 50, just a few degrees above the Star Cahp in Cassiopeia travelling in a SSE to NNW direction 2 flashes at mag 1, 2 at 3 then another 2 at 1 followed by 2 more a 3 then it disappeared, the gap between flashes was approx 5 secs. The timing are approximate as I did not have my watch with me The only possible candidate I can find is Scout A R/B (03137 / 1968-012B) Has this R/B been known to flash before or can anybody come up with an alternative candidate.
