> John this excerpt from HIGHFLY prediction for Hotbird 5 suggests eclipse bewtween 2208UT > and 2209 UT. Coming out of shadow at 2249 UT. > Tony Beresford Hi Tony Thats brilliant , thank you.....I think those times may be out by an hour. If you go to http://mysite.freeserve.com/satcom_transits/hbshadow.gif you can see it all happen.(4.5 mb I'm afraid...on broadband thats about 2 minutes load time) The prediction you gave me showed mag 11.9 , but I think you'll agree that at least one of the birds flared to mag 8-9 I will check the timings tomorrow to the camera log.....its 1am here , I have been out in the freezing cold for 4 hours...and to top it all my central heating has died.....so I think I'll leave the tidying up 'til the morning (If anyone knows how to reduce the 30 odd frames to a more manageable file size , please let me know) Good night.... John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
