If my precession rate is OK from 2001-2004, I have it at RA 06:53 tomorrow Nov.09, decreasing by 0:04/day. For Leo, this would be declination +2.5 at 01:12 UTC, one degree left of a +4.5m star. I haven't added any Superbird obs to my spreadsheet since Jan.-04. With no special report code for specular flashes and/or phase shifts, and most reports not giving RA/dec for the brightest flashes, some not even hinting in the the Subject: line that it is a Superbird flash obs, it is time-consuming to find the reports, dig out proper elset, and compute the positions. /Björn > >Superbird A (89-41 A, 20040) is visible again from northwest Europe. >Can someone give me an approximate time when it is flashing? >Must be something around 04:00 UT. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
