From: "Kevin Fetter" : > > Telstar 401 is getting low in the sky, no sure when I lose tracking of > it. > It is almost stationary, except for its 7 degree inclination, causing the currently observed flash episode, after evening twilight, to be at about 20 deg in the SW for you. On Christmas Eve, it will still have its minimum at 20 degrees, reaching 33 deg in the morning for you. There should be another (or three more) flash episodes - I'll try to find out as soon as possible after converting all obs Nov.17-Dec.XX to RA/Dec. Without these obs, and/or answer to my question of continuity, it seems there might be a second episode half an hour after (or before!) the current one. The second pair could occur in Eridanus - Orion - Canis Minor, ie before morning twilight for Kevin, darker in California. /Björn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
