For my observation August 11 at 20:45 UT (+/- 5 min) Muurame (25.6E, 62.1N) I would estimate the azimuth due East and altitude 12 degrees, slighly higher than Jupiter. For last night (Raasepori) I dont know more tthan "near Jupiter" as reported by the observer, I will contact him to find if a better e 2010/8/17 satrack@libero.it <satrack@libero.it>: > Arto, > > The two flaring satellites were the NOSS 3-2 (A) and NOSS 3-2 (C). > I would try to track their flares for the following days but I need a more > precise > position of the flare.
