(North Italy) > I've felt the same way, but actually most of the flashers drift slowly, so in a matter of weeks (or even months) they will be visible in Europe. One problem is that most drift westward, so it takes longer for us to see the "US objects" than v.v. Another problem is that in the meantime the Sun's position is so changed, that it takes good observations and computations (or long observing hours) to know when they will flash. /Björn -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
