Hello, I made an observation this evening of the Forte/Pegasus XL third stage.(1997-47B/24921) It seems to bee a nice flasher with 3 secundary maxima between the primary maxima. The primary maxima were relatively bright(mag +4) for a Pegasus rocket. These are my timings of the primary maxima: 5.85 5.91 5.80 6.04 5.80 5.91 5.93 5.86 5.89 6.02 I have observed other Pegasus third stages and they are(were) probably all flashing, but this one seems to be the most interesting one. BTW: the post boost stage from the Start 1/Zeya launch(1997-10B/24745) is a very bright object. It is a naked eye object of mag +2.(when conditions are good) Greetings, Tristan Cools tcools@nic.INbe.net BWGS Member - Belgian Working Group Satellites Observing at: Damse Vaart: 3.2486E/51.2279N/Rijckevelde: 3.2867E/51.2054N/Brugge: 3.1611E/51.2108N
