Sorry. Being an amateur astronomer and radio amateur I'm just used to giving everything in UTC. I looked for the LEDs between 0614:30 and 0616:30 UTC which would have been 1:14:30 am to 1:16:30 am EST for me. FITSat was passing between Regulus and Alphard (Alpha Hydrae) at this time and this was about 22 degrees altitude. I did see FITSat during an early evening pass last night when it passed thru Cetus but the LEDs were not activated at that time. The satellite was about mag. 7.5. ________________________________ From: "ka8vit@ka8vit.com" <ka8vit@ka8vit.com> To: seesat-l@satobs.org; Thomas Laskowski <tmlask@att.net> Sent: Wed, December 12, 2012 1:39:08 PM Subject: Re: FITSAT-1 LEDs Wasn't it at 0114 (EST) ?
