This really is a very fine picture! http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2007/04/bonus-flare-of-unknown-with-usa-129.html The fainter of the two objects on the image is USA 129. I have not yet identified the other object, flaring to mag. -1.5 on the image! Image is from 20:12:11.1 - 20:12:21.8 UTC. Visually it was very cool two see the two cruising up together on more or less parallel tracks, only a few degrees apart, the one chasing the other. The flare was very cool! I saw USA 129 itself (I think) flare to mag. 0 a minute earlier low east. It remained at mag. +1 for quite a while, enough to get a good trail. - 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
