Hi Ed, > Well, this is interesting. When I got home from observing, I saw > Rob's message about TDF 1. I also had found and timed it -- for > 1:45:23.8 (6323.8 seconds), 303 cycles, period 20.870 seconds... Obviously solid agreement with my 20.8717 timing. > brightest maxima seemed +4.5 at best, maybe only +5.0. I concur. The brightness varied -- all flashes were at least +5 for me, but some were as bright as +4. > It didn't seem like TDF 1 was when I saw that one before; it > seemed more like a Gorizont (fainter, very long period of > visibility). Agreed -- behavior very much like a Gorizont flasher, which means it should have wide visibility across the central and western U.S., at least for a little while longer. --Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
