At least in two periods "years" ago there have been multiple observations of an "Ursa Major flasher". Could there be a Molniya with a very stable axis/rotation, so the flashes are mainly observed there? -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L searching now available (URL at the last line) -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "MALEY, PAUL D.
