Another fast flasher -- Ofeq5 Shavit r 3.0 1.2 0.0 6.0 d 4 433 x 229 km 1 27435U 02025B 02232.69761904 .01154437 46862-3 25306-2 0 1197 2 27435 143.4552 24.0422 0151860 93.4535 268.3447 15.79828287 12993 I saw it last night, and it's definitely a fast flasher. Its low (retrograde) inclination (to about 36.5 north or south latitude but moving east-to-west instead of west-to-east) and low orbital height limit who has the opportunity to see it, but it's worth a look. It's also going to re-enter pretty soon. Alan Pickup's page lists it decaying on September 10: http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/current.htm Not-fast flasher. Last night from San Antonio, Texas, I was not able to find Gorizont 23 (91-046A, 21533) until after 4:00 UTC, so if you have tried without success, it may flash later or earlier at your location. Flash period about 56 seconds.
