Hi All, Thanks to Jim Varney for pointing out that ETS-6 does go into shadow during a portion of the flash window I predicted for it yesterday. My apologies for not double-checking this myself. ETS-6 enters shadow at about 4:32:30 UTC 8/19, and does not reemerge until 5:12 UTC. At the time of shadow entry, the predicted flash centerline is very close to its northern extreme (mentioned in the previous post). At shadow exit, the centerline has moved south to an arc passing through Los Angeles, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Shreveport, Atlanta and southern South Carolina. But there is disturbing news. Tony Beresford, an experienced observer near Adelaide, Australia, failed to see the predicted flashes for his location last night. So the axis we established for this satellite may have drifted somewhat. The flash track was more critical for Tony's location, such that if the flashes came 40 minutes earlier than predicted, he would have been washed out by twilight, and if they came 20 minutes late he would have missed them. Hopefully someone in the U.S. will spot the flashes tonite and provide a time window during which they saw the them, or better yet an estimated time when the flashes were brightest. Just wanted to give everyone some heads-up that this satellite is not (yet) as predictable as Superbird A due to a lack of observational data. --Rob
