Assuming you mean Aug.30, that would indicate a considerable pointing error. No Iridiums are predicted to flare (max angle 9 deg!!) between 04 and 05 in the W Aug 29-Sep 04. But Cosmos 1589 84-84 A #15171 was at az 281 el 30 at that time. > As i looked out the window to see how dark it was and if the sky was clear i > spotted a bright object where one shouldn't be and it was moving (>S) so i > knew it was flare. Although not predicted Iridium 56 #25170 98010B matches > the track and timing. 04:25:06 +/- 3sec 30 Sept UTC Az 275 deg El 30 deg. > Mag -3. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
