I had a clear day, and searched in the interval -5/+5 min over gamma-delta-epsilon UMa (alt 39 deg) where 96-072 A should pass. I used the 7*30 binoculars I have in town. This is the fifth pass I haven't seen since Feb.12 Has it had its perigee raised to 410 km, and/or apogee lowered to 900 km, or been deorbited? The perigee is not near the equator, so no good time for an inclination change. -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
