List members, I chose the wrong HOTBIRD to use as the protype. HotBIRD 5 is east of the cluster John was imaging and also not beibg imaged. Incidentally it implies the naming at OIG/ US STRATCOM /SCC isnt as upto date as one might suppose. The predictions for H1-4 and H6 show shadow entry bear 2300UT and exit near 2340UT. This is close enough to the observed times considering the nature of the problem and the orbit model used in HIGHFLY.
