Cosmos 2282 94- 38 A 02-09-04 05:05:07.7 PG 9867.3 0.2 473 20.861 +4.0->inv using mounted binos, I started looking at 0120 ut but the first flash seen was 0219 ut and I started the clock ~0220:40 ut. flashes started sometime between 0206 and 0219 ut. still flashing at 0505 ut when I stopped. (&& still flashing at 0558 ut) slight spin_up from yesterday's 20.871 Rob (20.870 Ed). I did a few shorter cycle counts to confirm the flash period and hence the overall number of flashes. sounds simple, ie, push the button(s)**, but I can see how to better refine technique for myself. **I had two independent timers running, but I could have better utilized one of them. as for the flash description other than above, sometimes it seemed a little brighter but I could not make out a pattern (my immediate E neighbor put the most annoying twin floods bouncing off his white garage doors ~ 50 feet from my stuff -- we need to have a serious talk) for the most part the sky had cleared but I cannot be sure that the vM variation was not high clouds. once or twice I thought I saw a double flash, with a separation between the two of <=0.1 sec (maybe <=0.05 sec?)(very fast) (but that could have been a glitch in the matrix) and the single flashes to me seemed to have a shorter duration than, eg, Gorizont 23, but my "flasher viewing experience" is pretty limited. ps to Tony (& Greg), I looked at web page for PC164C, I may have some questions re how best used in conjunction with other stuff... ******************************************** Paul Gabriel 8305 26.24306N 098.21614W GPS (CT|UTC-6/-5) +35.97m USGS/NED, -25.22m EGM96 Geoid height +10.75m WGS-84 Ellipsoid height aka McAllen, Texas USA 78504-2940 "wherever you go, there you are" astro@pgog.net ******************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
