1. 25 February 2022. 01:18 UT (Post sunset) Southbound pass. Maximum elevation of pass 74 degrees, azimuth 285 degrees. Flare interval ~1:18:00 UT – 1:18:40 UT. Max magnitude ~0. Sun elevation -7 degrees. Maximum flare ~ 1:18:10 UT. Az/El: 235/65.1. RA/Dec: 3:11.5/+22:38 2. 25 February 2022. 12:10 UT (Pre-sunrise) Northbound pass. Maximum elevation of pass 72 degrees, azimuth 76 degrees. Flare interval ~12:09:22 UT – 12:10:30 UT. Max magnitude ~1. Sun elevation -17 degrees. Maximum flare ~ 12:10:01 UT. Az/El: 108/69. RA/Dec: 17:04/+29:59 Notes: The total flare duration (naked eye) of #2 is close to the maximum. It was dark enough to pick up the satellite soon after it became visible. Compare that to the first flare (01:18 UT on 25 Feb 2022) where I probably only had Capella visible and I detect the flare after it is close to peak brightness. The maximum flare time still has some uncertainty to it. Five seconds, maybe more, either way can be expected. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Feb 27 2022 - 13:48:43 UTC
