Ed, I certainly did not mean to imply anything, other than I did not see the same object. My conditions here last night were Bad; IMHO you certainly could've seen something that I missed. I missed several objects last night, including Lacrosse 2, which is a mag 3 object, because of the murky skies. > At least once >AMS 1 flashed very brightly while the object behind it >stayed steady at the same faint magnitude (maybe +6.0 or >+6.5, given the observing location and sky conditions). As I noted in a post earlier today: 76- 91 A 07-06-14 03:23:48 BY 50.9 0.3 3 17.0 FF mag 4->6 So I definitely agree that the sat was flashing, up to mag 4 from 6, where it was barely seen in the conditions. I was very busy timing both flashes and a few positions, which I chose not to post, because of the poor conditions.
