> >I observed two objects on a W 29 deg. pass at 05:30 UT this morning Jan.28 >The first object was steady +4, at 5:30:39.9 near a 6.3 star >(11:11, +14.5), but I didn't move my binoculars, not knowing >exactly the predicted sequence. >Only four seconds later I saw a -1 flash, but waited at the same ... >Only the Minotaur fits my observation. >The smallest separation, 8 s, is now OPAL/OCS, but the order >does not fit my obs. (9 s OCS/FalconSat) > I can't explain my statement about the Minotaur. I doesn't fit. With Mike's smoothed elsets, the flash fits FalconSat within 1 s. I'd like to believe the object 4 s ahead was OCS because of its steady brightness, but according to the elset it was about 16 s ahead.
