I have an axis for TDF 1, determined only by Ed Cannon's obs in June and August 2000, as RA 14.68,Dec +62.9. This places the flashes at RA 09:55 dec.-1.5 around 20:30 UTC-7 on the 3rd; RA 09:50, dec.-1.5 around 20:50 UTC-7 on the 5th for California. I have Rob's SuperbirdA rot.axis at 18.7312,-1.91, but not its precession available. I believe the cone angle is closer to 90 than to 89 degrees. This would give flashes at RA 16:34, -9. around 02:28 UTC-7 for June 05. However, my prediction does not match Rob's from Mar.27, so I hope Rob will give a better prediction (and me better axis angles)! > > I noticed the geoflashers Superbird A & TDF-1 are well placed for > observations from my site, does anyone have any idea of time of flash maxima > for either of these satellites? > ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
