Hi all, The geostationary satellite that brightly flared last night between 22:08:32 - 22:08:42 UTC (Jun 16, 2010), not far from USA 202 (09-001A) which I was imaging at that time, turns out to be the Japanese geosat Superbird 1A (92-084A): 22253 92 084A 4353 G 20100616220832300 17 75 1854458-096850 56 The flare was short as it is visible on this image only, and not on the image preceding it by 30 seconds nor an image taken 2.5 minutes later. The satellite is as bright as USA 202 in the image. Will post picture later. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
