Hi Ron, I realize Superbird is now above our horizon; but I've only got one observation from 2/1 to work with, and I've yet to reconcile it with our observations from Sept/Oct. Our calculated panel pointing normals from last Fall only cover 4 angular degrees -- not very good for extrapolation. There must be more European observations from this year that I can work with, but I haven't seen them published here on Seesat-L. You asked: "Based upon Rainer's evening obs with the satellite in the southwest, it that the only time we might see flashes or could some be visible in the morning when it is in the southeast? I was considering looking all night, but with the cold weather and uncertainty over elements, I am hesitant." The geometry would be quite different for us -- depending on the current rotation axis, we could get flashes just about any time of the night, or not at all. Maybe someone will chime in with another observation, though I really need at least 3 to come up with a good axis. --Rob
