Mark It would be a great help if you could give approximate RA and Dec for your two sightings, and whether you're using epoch 1950.0 or 2000.0. It's OK to refer to the brightest stars by name, but for one I haven't a clue what Benetnasch is, and I've been in astronomy since 1957. I hope this is helpful, David. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Harris [mailto:Mark.Harris@southsomerset.gov.uk] Sent: 24 November 2000 08:03 To: SeeSat-D@blackadder.lmsal.com Subject: A couple of unidentified flashers seen... Was standing in the car park @ work this morning (50.9460N, 2.6620W), when I saw a couple of sats which I can't identify... any suggestions as to what they could be? (Apologies for the lack of specific times or info...) 1. Approx 6:28:15 GMT, whilst watching the ISS pass, there was a brief (1/2 second) flare from a sat moving North on the other side of Leo (close to Regulus); and 2. Approx 6:36 GMT, there was a solitary flash (approx mag: -1) from a sat right next to Benetnasch. Thanks in advance...
