The deviation of just 3 minutes from prediction over those 10 weeks testifies to Mike's wizardry in producing elements from my single observation on that date at 06:29:49.49 UT. my magnitude estimates show that is was flaring wildly and irregularly, reaching maxima of magnitude +0.5. I believe we have found the culprit. regards Russell _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed May 06 2015 - 08:26:50 UTC
