If you, and/or others at different lat/longs, can give more accurate times of the start+end of brightest flashes (even better: RA/dec), or over a period of several days, I should be able to determine how the flash geometry varies with lat/long/date, and eventually the rotation axis and flash surface orientation. Oddly enough "your" passes were also close to alp Her from my location 18.6 E, 59.2N (from Jul 7 06:11 to Jul 15 05:36 within 0.5 degrees), but at that time I have brilliant daylight, and 12h earlier the Sun is also far from setting. /Björn > >I then observed bright flashes from Molyina 1-88, between roughly 5:45 to 6: 00 UTC.
