A higher SE pass confirmed the period AND the asymmetry. I observed it for about 112 seconds from 21:04:38 UTC, and the best fit period for the deep minima was 13.52 seconds. The shallow minima had a large spread, but were about 5.5 +-1 BEFORE the deep minima. Laps: 4.34,7.62,6.22,7.00,6.30,6.81,6.98,5.86,7.11,7.72,5.86,22.58,3.99,5.94,8.28 At 21:07:55 +- 5 s. I saw a single mag +4 flash at RA 22:46.5, decl.+22.5 (2000) At 21:13:00 +-0.5 USA 116 passed 0.5 deg. below gam Peg and crossed the 7x50 FOV in the proper time and direction, after which I lost it (mag +7?!) USA 129 has been impossible at my latitude since the maneouvres. -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ----- Original Message ----- > > > On a low SE pass at 20:53 UT I timed four minima, but lap times 7.7, 4.8, > 13.8 could just possibly mean a 13 second period with double, unevenly > spaced minima. > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
