Hello everyone. A few follow-up notes to the Globalstar burn obs. The burn probably began only a few seconds to my locating it at 23:16:28 UTC. The wide end was towards Polaris it was oriented essentially parallel to the horizon. About 3-5 seconds after the burn ceased, the entire cloud was indistinguishable from the haze and twilight (23:16:50). Polaris was the only star visible in that part of the sky. 2 More Gorizont 17 obs: 89- 04 A 00-02-07 00:57:02.6 JDG 653.6 0.3 8 81.70 +5.0->inv 89- 04 A 00-02-09 01:21:24.5 JDG 980.5 0.3 12 81.71 +5.5->inv It has become clear to me is that my obs from last Saturday evening was actually some bright half period flashes. The PPAS report should change from: 89- 04 A 00-02-06 02:43:10.3 JDG 817.2 0.3 20 40.86 +4.0->inv To: 89- 04 A 00-02-06 02:43:10.3 JDG 817.2 0.3 10 81.72 F'fF'f mag+4.0->inv 81.72=40.86+40.86 The Hubble Space Telescope made a nice +3.0 mag, 1x pass at 00:21 UTC 9 February. At 21 deg above the horizon, it was a high as it ever gets at this latitude.
