Yesterday 2000-03-04 I tried to see #21132, 21805, 21533. I happened to look (with 7x50) about 5 degrees above DSP F16 and saw about 20:02:30 UTC a +1 mag flash around RA 07:14, dec.+1.5 +-1 deg. Watching the area continuously for about five minutes I only saw the next +3 flash at 20:03:32 and +4 at 20:04:33, then no more. The low accuracy observation does not allow me to decide if it was Telecom 1B 1 15678U 85035B 00060.65890885 .00000018 00000-0 10000-3 0 6511 2 15678 9.0536 42.4549 0007279 222.8006 137.2412 1.00235622 40886 or Ekran 18 1 19090U 88036A 00055.19660021 .00000000 00000-0 10000-3 0 8622 2 19090 8.9141 47.8543 0016520 234.2883 125.6592 0.95145420 25602 Note that the latter is super-synchronous, so its visibility moves around the Earth in three weeks and the flash may occur 80-90 minutes later each day! -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L / Visual Satellite Observer Home Page found at -- -- http://www2.satellite.eu.org/satintro.html -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
