Oooh dear did I get in a muddle - why do we have British Summer Time?
It always throws me!
I'll start again - all obs were 12/6
9640 USA 32 10:53UT - Fine flare (-5) as it climbed from the SW,
lasted around 5secs and was distinctly orange in colour. No further
flares observed.
25544 ISS 11:01UT - Nice high elevation pass - quite close to Arcturus
and about the same magnitude.
21867 JERS-1 11:07UT - Interesting object. Missed early part of pass
due to moonlight but saw it around 30 degrees elevation in the SW as
it flared to around magnitude 1. Flare lasted 10 seconds, then faded
for 10 seconds, then flared up again to mag 1 for 10 sec, again faded
and then flared for a third time - this time it remained naked eye
visible (mag 1) with the occasional 'wink' until I lost it in the
North Western twilight. A slowly tumbling sat?
