I have identified it, based upon Jack's time ambiguity. Extracts from my reply: ... But on Jan.07 04:09-04:39 UTC I do find Intelsat 4-1 rocket: Intsat 4-1 r 36515 x 554 km 1 07902U 75042B 02002.07337794 .00000082 00000-0 28335-2 0 6844 2 07902 26.1825 10.5916 7217146 271.1174 14.7714 2.20804923 83552 Intsat 4-1 r 36517 x 552 km 1 07902U 75042B 02008.86513687 .00000060 00000-0 38536-2 0 6877 2 07902 26.1754 8.3491 7218115 274.9224 13.5690 2.20811670 83704 I also have a current elset in my image: Intsat 4-1 r 36512 x 555 km 1 07902U 75042B 02023.35445812 .00000040 00000-0 29512-2 0 6975 2 07902 26.1794 3.5604 7216764 283.0897 11.4759 2.20819749 84020 - right at the start of the exposure. Using 50 MILES NW, Lat= 42.39N Long= -88.33E I have a track passing within 0.01 degrees, all within 0.02 degrees below M 1. It was moving 10"/sec, so your image appears to match a 1/3 second flash, which is not unusual with this kind of rocket and orbit. /Björn ----- Original Message ----- ... > > So what is the explanation for Schmidling's discontinuity?
