For Ed Cannon on Jan.21, I expect the flashes to start around 01:24 UTC near RA 02:58 Dec.-7.5 If my derived data are correct, this episode would stop being specular N of 31.5N, and gradually become fainter near RA 02:30, Dec.-8. There could be an early episode around 22:00 at RA 23:30, Dec.-9.5. At lat.40N, long 98W it could be as early as 21:00 UTC, RA 22:30, Dec. -10.5 ! http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/deepsky.txt has been updated. > about 1:52:20 UTC.

The end of entire pass is too uncertain, given its length and lacking (consistent) magnitude limit. -- 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) -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
