13777, IRAS -- interesting, may have been brighter than +4.0; PPAS report -- 83- 04 A 06-02-05 01:10:27 EC 140.6 1.0 5 28.1 +4.0->i timings: 15.64, 7.65, 5.96, 14.54, 7.66, 5.57, 22.38, 5.79, 27.74, 15.84, 11.85 23420, Molniya 1-88 -- PPAS report -- 94- 81 A 06-02-05 03:30:37 EC 263.2 0.5 13 20.24 +5.0->i Towards the end of the observation I only saw every other maximum, giving a probable flash period of 40.48 seconds. This was fairly low in the SSW. At the end of the observing session I was looking for Spacenet 2 (84-114A, 15385). I found something with a flash period of about 94.1 seconds, but it seems that Gorizont 30 (94-030A, 23108) was closer to the observed position. This was about 4:50-5:06 UTC, low in the ESE. Superbird A (89-041A, 20040) was flashing from about 3:42 until 3:49 UTC here tonight. The star 24 Eridani (3:44:29, -1.18 -- 2000) went very near it while it was flashing. In spite of the moonlight I was able to see two flashes without binoculars. PPAS report from the previous night: 89- 41 A 06-02-04 03:49:27.5 EC 409.4 0.2 37 11.07 +3.5->i I saw two -- only two -- flashes from Molniya 1-81 (91-043A, 21426), magnitude maybe +6.5. They were separated by 15 seconds. This was pretty low in the SSW. 13172, KH 9-17 Capsule -- previous evening, three sets of ten cycles, but every other one fainter and moreso as it went farther north, a very neat flasher -- PPAS report -- 82- 41 C 06-02-04 02:06:52 EC 29.5 0.2 30 0.98 +5.0->i PPAS format: http://www.satobs.org/tumble/flashpm.html#PPASformat Ed Cannon - Austin, Texas, USA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
