The aux motor 22925 is rapidly decaying according to Alan and will likely not survive past 12/22/00. If anyone can observe this object for optical characteristics prior to its decay and email that info to me, I would appreciate it. The slant range is unfavorable from here for the next weeks and I am not sure if it will be possible to observe it at ranges greater than 2500 km (1600 miles) without a fairly large instrument and very dark skies. This object underwent a minor explosion on 9/7/00 but the object should be generally intact. Unless the object is rapidly flashing, observation should be continuous over at least a 2 minute interval. thanks, Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
