Re: Double Star 1 -- Can someone please point to a some good images of Double Star 1 (or Tan Ce 1, 28140, 03-061A) online? Mike reminded me that what we saw is not easy to explain given a cylinder covered with solar cells. While watching it, wiggling the telescope a little yielded multiple dots -- which means multiple specular flashes within the duration of the wiggle. The overall flash period that we saw was four seconds, which corresponds with it spinning at 15 rpm, but there was a lot more visible than just a single specular flash every four seconds.
