Hi there- On november 4th, while observing an iridium flare, I also observed a flashing object at an altitude of 40 deg. in the NE. There were three flashes of around mag. -2, about 15 seconds apart and a fainter flash of mag. +1, 5 seconds after the last bright one. The first flash I saw at 18:29:30 UTC. Between the flashes, the object was not visible to the naked eye, but the viewing conditions were not optimal. Because I wasn't quite prepared for seeing a flashing satellite and because I'd never seen one before, the timing may not be very accurate. I identified the object as AMS 3(DMSP F3). -Peter 51.983N 4.467E -5m _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
