Hi folks: On writing my summary for tonite sat observation i happen to glance at the 15" monitor and notice a mag+6? satellite sailing just beneath beta Crux. I followed it and found it flashed to mag +4? with a single period timing of 4.42 sec. I ran program.rob listings as well as alldat.tle but coudn't find any sat ( even around that area). LM sky : bad 2.0 LM of optical system +8.5 Date/Time: May 28 -UT:13h52min54 second direction of travel : E Site: 103.80255 E, 1.44526N, 20m ( +8 GMT) What is the potential candidate for this guy? p/s Earlier on watch NOOA 4, Intstat4-K( flashing rapidly?slow increase in mag?), Cosmos 2173Rk. as predicted. A thin long meteor entered the 5x7 d FOV, 1+ second with debris 'streaming' clearly visible. rgds ykChia -- Visit My Web Site http://www.geocities.com:80/CapeCanaveral/Cockpit/9033/index.html Special Interest : Iridium Flares, Comets, IC objects ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
