There is a very interesting article on seasonal variations in light curves as observed by the MODEST telescope in the latest issue of Orbital Debris Quarterly. Quote: "From the data discussed here, it is apparent that shapes and functionality ( e.g., orientation) significantly affect light curves. Data for cylinders were limited, but show a similar trend in brightness to boxes (but at somewhat different and multiple solar declinations)." http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/newsletter/pdfs/ODQNv12i1.pdf -- Brian Weeden Technical Consultant Secure World Foundation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
