Last night, after an unsuccessful attempt a few days ago, I observed 92-83A #22251 KH 11-9 again. It passed just below theta Cephei at 22:44:00.9 UT, which is surprisingly close to predictions from the following elset : USA 86 15.0 3.0 0.0 4.6 1 22251U 92083 A 95125.02921860 .00024812 00000-0 20953-3 0 06 2 22251 97.9192 238.4303 0518906 148.3787 214.8450 14.83119551 14 With SGP (ndot2) it was 3 seconds after prediction, with SGP4 (BStar) 5 seconds late. It was at 58 degrees elevation E when I discovered it (naked eye) but there was no flash until it had passed above Cassiopeia, then another one above Perseus. On earlier passes, the best flashes have been in Cygnus. ========================================================= Bjorn_gimle@lector.kth.se == bjorn.gimle@duesenberg.se == == bjorn.gimle@online.dextel.se ; 59.22371 N, 18.22857 E =========================================================Received on Sat May 20 1995 - 09:14:50 UTC
