Hi everybody,

      Here are my observations for the evening of April 5, 1999 :

22251 92 083A   1745 E 19990406005805200 37 25 1302750+594200 68 M-020 07

02825 67 053B   1745 E 19990406013517000 37 25 1339000+515500 68 S+060 07
24297 96 051A   1745 E 19990406014932400 37 25 0201000+643300 68 S+050 07


22251  USA 86
19531  NOAA 11
02825  Timation 1 r
24297  Cosmos 2333

USA 86 flared slowly to mag -2 at 00:55:33 UTC on the 6th while at 126° Az and 37° El.

Also observed without positional measurements, Mir and EGP which was flashing at a
certain time only once every 0.4 to 0.5 sec.

A lot of people down here are getting into satellite observation. They are all amateur
astronomers and satellites make an interesting and challenging addition to their list of
observation subjects.

Cheers !

Dan
