Hi All, Observed Superbird A from the Long Beach area Monday evening. Peak flashes were right on time at ~20:29:30 PDT (6-APR-98). A few minutes later I watched a pass of Cosmos 2322 R/B go thru the bowl of the Big Dipper at about mag +3.5. At 20:37 PDT I picked up NOSS 2-3 R/B in the north-northeast as it (also) approached the bowl of the Dipper. Its angular velocity was more than twice that of C2322 r, and it was = definitely tumbling with a smooth variation in brightness from perhaps 3rd mag to 1st. Was not able to get an accurate period as it went into shadow less than 45 seconds later. I decided to try my luck looking for Ed Cannon's unknown GEO flasher (pseudo catalogue #98001 in MOLCZAN.TLE). Clouds interfered until about 21:05 PDT (4:05 UTC, 7-Apr-98) -- then I found it near Delta Mono- ceros. I wasn't able to follow it for more than 30 seconds before the = flashes became too dim for my 8 x 56's. Within 2 minutes, clouds rolled = in for good. The brightest flashes were earliest -- around mag +6.5 -- = suggesting that I perhaps caught the tail-end of the flash period. I'll start = looking for it earlier tonite. Didn't measure a flash period, but it was quick -- something like 2.5 = seconds between flashes (?). I'll be armed with a stop watch tonite. --Rob
