Hi Richard and List, I'm still investigating this, but it's definitely NOT an Iridium flare. The satellite in question is moving more or less east-west, not north-south, so my guess is something in GEO. (North is to the left in Richard's CCD image.) This is a very narrow field of view image of the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) if anyone is curious... --Rob -----Original Message----- From: SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org [mailto:SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org]On Behalf Of Richard Crisp Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 12:02 PM To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: Fw: [TAC] Bonus Shot: Iridium Flare? here's another opinion. rdc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Bracewell" <mbracewell@akiva.com> To: "The Astronomy Connection" <sf-bay-tac@seds.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 11:29 AM Subject: RE: [TAC] Bonus Shot: Iridium Flare?

Can anyone do a positive ID? I sort of think it is an iridium flare because of the very uniform ramp up and ramp down of the intensity ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
