Hi all, Lucille and I woke up 5 minutes before the predicted pass of the stage and, with a very nice sky, were able to see it zip through the northeastern sky at an incredible speed. It came out af shadow low in the northwest and it took only a minute before it became too faint toward the east. Its magnitude was about zero with an irregular variation to mag +1. No trail was seen but the sky was not dark due to twilight. Time of obs was 11:20 UTC, Nov. 28, with the object being about a minute late with Alan's predicted elset : Astra 1K Blok DM3 r 124 x 121 km 1 27558U 02053B 02332.39334204 .49062868 28773+1 21063-3 0 90192 2 27558 51.5593 46.3984 0002382 181.4584 178.5409 16.56346776 406 -- Daniel Deak representant, projet spatial Starshine L'Avenir, Quebec COSPAR site 1747 : 45.7275°N, 72.3526°W, 191 m., UTC-4:00 Site en francais sur les satellites: French-language satellite web site : http://www.obsat.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
