Hi folks: I left the video system on and go for a quick bite the neighbourhood. On my return a short streak ( very much like a slow meteor ) was found in one of the incident still jpg. Avi playback revealed the work of a flaring satellite. Obj ID to be 76-073B - Atlas Centaru R. Three maxmima were seen in the 2 second plus flaring. What is cause of such maxima sequences? changing reflecting x-sectional surface areas? or steps in the rocket body? Image and full -screen ( all my wmv are encoded full-screen mode) 1.4Mb wmv video file available. http://www.ykchia.com/sats_in_aug.htm reflesh your browser to see the latest top image. p/s some how I have more accidental flashing/flaring satellites than the sats i set out to hunt for.. Tips too dim for me tonigh and USA 81 was not flaring rgds ykchia ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
