I took a nap and started looking again at 0618 ut and it was still flashing, and I went out and timed the 908 flash at 0726:36.1 ut (still 20.838s) and I came back to my computer a few minutes later ~ 0732 ut and saw that now (real time) Guide8 showed it Cosmos 2282 in shadow, so I "ran" outside and sure enough the flashes had stopped. I then ran the Guide ephemeris table for position and shadow and Guide showed it entered shadow between 0728 & 0729 ut. I wish I had remembered it was nearly shadow time as I would have tried to time the last flash. to recap: it flashed ~ 5h20m and I did not see the when the initial flash, but it was flashing as early as 0207 ut (but not at 0131) it should emerge ~ 0835 ut, only another 30 min from now, so I may check it out to see if it emerges flashing. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
