Observed USA 186 (05-042A) flaring, or rather glinting, in the west-northwest yesterday evening amidst flying clouds. Caught one of the flares on photograph. #1: 21:10:12 +/- 2s UTC very short, mag. -1. Caught on photo, flare appears near-stellar #2: 21:10:35 +/- 2s UTC again very short, mag. +0.5 On the photograph with the 21:10:12 UTC flare, the trail is very faint pre- and post-flare. I obtained one position (endpoint of the trail seems defined enough to measure) which I will report in a separate mail. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
