I found it again after five days. It was about 20 minutes early with my first elset (drifting eastwards with 1 deg/day). I observed it from Dec 08 20:43 - 22:01 UTC. It was flashing all the time with a main FP of 2.37 seconds. The magnitudes of the primary flashes varied from invisible (>11.5) to mag 9. Secondary flashes appeared and disappeared after the main flashes sometimes as bright as the main flash. During the last minutes of the observations the satellite was visible between the flashes with mag 11. observations with 20 cm SCT IntlId SiteYYMMDDHHMMSSss Sss TCHHMMmm DDddd DdddE 0083801500500120821054298 050 13003615 -08005 00035 0083801500500120821144622 050 13004521 -08177 00045 0083801500500120821205151 050 13005130 -08293 00025 0083801500500120821405542 050 13011138 -08669 00025 0083801500500120822000807 050 13013060 -09016 00025 elset from observations Dec 03/08 UNK001203 3.7 1 99338U 00340.00000000 .00000000 00000-0 00000+0 0 03 2 99338 4.1163 185.2539 0012364 34.0669 188.6227 1.00538623 08 Rainer Kracht Elmshorn, Germany Station 5005, 53.7695N 9.6626E 9m r.kracht@sh-home.de ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
