Hi, this morning I accidentally observed a nice flare from UARS (1991-063B, NORAD 21701), with magnitude -2 or brighter for a couple of seconds. Investigating the geometry with my program I obtained good angles, very close to 45 and 29 degrees (angle and tilt respectively). Supposing I wasn’t at the flare centre I created a model with the values 45 and 30, which place the flare only a few kilometres away. If anyone wants the check if it works, the workspace with the model can be downloaded at the following link: http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/uars.html Best regards, Simone _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
