Hi Alan and List, I've taken a look at the upcoming Iridium 27 decay, and there's at least a chance that this will decay over southern California this evening at around 19:47 PST (3:47 UT on Feb. 1). This would be on a northbound pass just west of Los Angeles (almost directly over Malibu). The other thing favorable about this pass is that it is just a few minutes after perigee. Unfortunately it's a bit too long after sunset to be a sunlit pass, so it would only be visible if it actually reenters at that time. Certainly worth a look; it is absolutely crystal clear in southern California right now with about 6 hours to go... --Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
