I Briefly observed RADARSAT (95059A) this evening (22:55 UTC 6 Nov) for the first time in less than ideal conditions. The sun was 10 deg. below the horizon, the moon was full and there was a very high, thin scattered cloud layer. I needed my 7x50 binoculars to spot it. At it's maximum altitude it was located in the western sky with a calculated astronomical phase angle of approximately 100 deg. which contributed to its poor reflectivity. Perhaps my eyes were playing tricks with me but I believed I saw a relatively high flash rate (several times a second). I estimate the brightness at -6 mag. for this pass. Perhaps the 15 meter long radar antenna contributes to that effect. I hope others can verify this flashing effect. Jeff Hunt <jhunt@eagle1.eaglenet.com> 38.51N 76.76W
