hi chiayk , In the PPAS entry 92- 85 A 00-12-18 MM 4.40 fl+5,smlowinsouthWOW Mike McCants allready mentioned "smlowinsouth". "sm" is the code for secundary maxima, meaning that there were flashes at 2.20 interval low in the South. your image which is now at http://nightevents.blogspot.com/2006/03/molniya-3-4392-085a.html clearly shows the same behaviour : from top to bottom we first see no secundary flashes, then they become visible and increase in brightness. Finally they are the same magnitude of the primary ones giving a half-period when measured at that time. A increase from 2.2 to 2.35 seems to be pretty reasonable for this type of objects. Only more obs can give the definite conclusion. regards, Kurt Jonckheere -------------- chiayk wrote : Hi folks: Another late-night slow crawler....
