Last night, I observe the TELSTAR 402R geo sat produce at least 2 slow flares, as the satelite slowly rotates. Nor sure now long it took in between flares, this time. I must have missed others, as last time I observed it, it took 23 minutes between flares. I call it a fare, as last way longer then a flash. It last over 15 seconds. One of them was at 6:17 UTC ( Apr 26 ), it was in the magnitude 7 range. It was around 14 h 29 m R.A -4 deg 49 min Dec It was almost oposite the sun ( ie a difference of 12 hours R.A ) when I observed it. Here's the video for the flare at the above time. http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/042606/23670.wmv Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
