flares from NOSS 3-5B (leader) and NOSS 3-5A (trailer) as they came above local building low in north east, heading south. Difficult to estimate magnitudes but would say NOSS 3-5B was at least mag 0 whilst NOSS 3-5A was about half a magnitude fainter at peak. First NOSS 3-5B flared and as it was at max NOSS 3-5A started to flare and reached maximum at about same az/el that NOSS -3.5B peaked.All in all lasted about 10-15 seconds. Cant recall ever seeing a Noss pair going so bright. (2) STEX pretty faint and variable but this due to poor phase angle and low elevation. (3) The cloudy/rainy weather is back again.... :-((( Cheers Greg _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
