Mike was right. It was ETS-6. It did not show up when I initially checked for a match. Assumed mistake on my part. Tonight was three days later and I picked it up flashing around 00:35 UT on 6 December 2001. Maximum brightness was perhaps in the 00:35 to 00:36 time frame and by 00:39 I could no longer see the flashes in my 7x50 binoculars. Rough flash interval about 10 seconds (mentally timed). > I am almost certain that you saw the well-known bright flashing satellite > ETS-6. > (Object NCat 23230, 94-056A) > > Since it has a mean motion of 1.67 revs per day, it very nearly repeats > its path across the sky every three nights. > > Mike McCants _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Dec 05 2021 - 20:14:09 UTC
