Hi all, It was flare galore this evening, with USA 129, USA 186 and Lacrosse 4 captured flaring. Photographs are at: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2007/04/flare-galore-and-igs-1b-tumbling.html The USA 186 flare was spectacular, a complex double flare reaching mag. -1.5 twice. See the image on above URL which captures both flare maxima. The other two flares were more modest, certainly that of Lacrosse 4. The latter flare possibility was predicted to me by Philip Masding. He predicted 21:37:34 UTC: I observed it at 21:37:37 UTC. Positions from my observations will be send tomorrow, I am too tired now.... - 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
