Greetings,
Observed Cosmos 2335 on a.m. pass over Melbourne, Dec 25th 1998. Shadow
egress timed at 4:46:52 local time (17:46:52 24th Dec UTC) this appears
around 55 seconds early against OIG elset provided below. No photometric
oscillations observed, this despite very pronouced variation observed on
earlier zenithal pass (approx 24 hrs previous). Is this an effect of the
'manoeuvers' mentioned by Alan? Or due to changes in pass geometry? Mag
congruous with prediction of 1.6. Tis a fast little bugger this one. :)
