I Went out into the morning twilight just now and waited for a passover by TRMM. I scanned the sky and at 4:58:00am it was supposed to be at maximum alltitude of 78 degrees at a 1.1. mag.I then scanned down the path of the orbit and there it was, coming out from the western skies.At about 4:58:45am, It finally reached highest point of 77 degrees,and a magnitude of -0. this Delay in time I believe is due to changing the satellites orbit slightly higher, therefore decreasing the speed of the Satellite. So Everyone TRMM is behind by 45 Seconds. Regards and Happy Skies!
