Tonight while observing any flares from Telstar 402R, I notice a slow flash. Time was 3:48:08 UTC Position of flash around 16 h 41 m R.A -6 deg 17 min Dec Around 1/2 degree from Magnitude 6.7 star called Tycho 5061 567 A good match with Galaxy 3R ( 23741 ) It was retired from service in Jan 2006. I had posted a note on seesat about it's retirement. As I couldn't rememeber tonight, if it had been retired, I had to check to see. I should have made a note somewhere. Hazy sky tonight, looks to be better then last night. Will now keep my eye, on galaxy 3R tonight. Kevin 44.6062 N 75.6910 W __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
