Ed Cannon reported from 30.3086N, 97.7279W: > Last night (about 0:53:30-0:55:30 Dec 30 UTC) I was watching > what proved to be a very bright ISS pass, very nearly as > bright as Jupiter, when it flared briefly -- about one or > two seconds -- to brighter than Venus; then it dropped back > to -2.5 or so and then finally gradually faded as it went > into the Earth's shadow. We observed the same pass from 26.2157N, 97.6810W. While it was very bright, I saw no flare, although I was watching for one. Question, mostly for Rob Matson, I suppose: are negative observations useful in modeling ISS flares? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
