This description of USA245 magnitude changes during flight write to me Anatoly Grigor'ev (Russia, Yarovoe, 52.9206 N 78.5828 E). Sorry, I don't know how to use the PPAS format sufficiently, so I give the description in words. USA245 was seen at Aquilla at 16h07m UT, it was +3.5m. >From Aquilla to Libra (16h07m00s - 16h08m30s UT) magnitude decreases down to +4.0m. In the "head" of Draco (16h09m UT) magnitude began to increase. Near eta Draco (16h09m32s) USA245 made a flare up to -2.5m! Duration of flash approximately 10-15 s, yellow color. After flare its brightness decreases to +4.0m, and after that it stopped to be visible. -- Best regards, Vitaly (Minsk, Belarus). _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
