Hello, this is my first post to this list. Spotting location: Stockholm, Sweden Coordinates: N 59° 18.626' E 18° 6.020' Date: 2013-08-06 Time: roughly 00:30 GMT (+- 5 minutes) (12:30 AM) (that is around 01:30 local time) Direction of travel: Roughly between 0° and 15°, I didn't have a compass but it showed up in the south and travelled pretty much north. Period time: ca 90 minutes. (I observed it again after about 90 minutes) Period time of the light pattern: Ca 16-24 seconds. I didn't time it unfortunately. Brightness: Probably quite bright, light pollution in Stockholm is quite bad. For example in the Little Dipper only the 4 brightest stars was visible to the naked eye. At it's highest point in the sky it was pretty much right above me, probably a tad bit to the east. I've tried to identify it using heavens-above, but I couldn't find a match. The only ones I found matching the time, general direction of travel and elevation is Cosmos 1953 and Coronas F rocket, but I haven't been able to find information about if they're tumbling or not. Any help figuring out which satellite I saw is greatly appreciated! /Christoffer Wallstenius -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
