Hi all, I just observed Lacrosse 5 doing its disappearance trick. I think this explains my non-observation of March 6th in combination with Peter Wakelin seeing it easily only minutes before. Saw it making a nice pass here around 19:11-19:15 UTC (obtained two good trail photographs, due to be measured), easily visible at mag. +1.5 or so. Just after the last of my two exposures ended (19:14:52.1 UTC), and well before it should get into eclipse, it suddenly disappeared from naked eye view, within maybe 3-5 seconds so very fast. This was at about 19:15:00-19:15:10 UTC or so. I think this might happened at March 6th as well, just before I started to look for it. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
