Just like 2 days ago, Lacrosse 4 (00-047A, 26473) did it again. It displayed a very bright, Iridium-like flare in deep twilight. The sky was still light blue and only the brightest stars visible, but 00-047A for a few seconds popped into view easily, very bright and I estimate at least magnitude 0. This time the camera was on when it flared, and although the image is light blue the flare is well visible: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/marcoaliaslama/satellites/lac4flr.jpg Stars of Delphinus can be recognized in the lower right part. - Marco :-) ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4352 Leiden, the Netherlands, 52.15894 N, 4.48883 E (WGS84), +5 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
