Raduga 29 (93-13A, 22557) observation with 10x50 binoculars While waiting for the flashes of DSP 16 I noticed a new star of mag 6 at RA 00h12m Decl -11.8 deg, which hadn't been there a minute earlier. It didn't move and didn't change in brightness. After about ten seconds it disappeared within one second. I timed the disappearance as 2000 Oct 06 22:21:58 UTC. At 22:21:53 UTC Raduga 29 was at RA 00h11.7m Decl -11.76 close to the observed position.
