Congratulations to Kurt Joncheere and Jay Respler for recovering the peak flash window for Superbird A. I have updated the rotation axis and the precession rate, and can now provide accurate flash time predictions. For Wednesday morning, March 3rd, here are the UT times and locations for Europe: 3:21 Ireland 3:22 Scotland 3:23 Portugal, England 3:24 Spain, NW France, S England (London), Norway 3:25 Spain, NW France, SE Norway, Sweden 3:26 E Spain, France (Paris), Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden 3:27 France, Luxembourg, N Germany, S Sweden 3:28 Mallorca, French Riviera, W Switzerland (Geneva), central Germany, Gotland, Helsinki 3:29 Monaco, NW Italy (Milan), E Switzerland, S Germany (Munich), Dresden, N Poland, Leningrad 3:30 Corsica, N Italy, Austria (Innsbruck), Prague, Poland, W Russia 3:31 Sardinia, Italy (Florence, Venice), Zagreb, Vienna, Warsaw 3:32 Italy (Rome, Naples), Budapest, Moscow (very low!) 3:33 Sicily, S Italy, Belgrade, Kiev 3:34 Tripoli, Albania, Romania 3:35 Greece, Bulgaria, Bucharest, Odessa Flashes are in the vicinity of eta-Virginis, and should be visible through binoculars from up to 4 minutes before these times to 4 minutes after. Peak flashes would ordinarily be naked-eye visible; however, the nearly full moon will make that difficult this week. The approximate flash location is from about 2 degrees below the star for northern Europe to 1 degree below for southern Europe. For those getting the message in time who want to look Tuesday morning, subtract 1 minute from these times. For Thursday morning (March 4), add approximately 1 minute. Eastern US/Canada flash times will be posted shortly... --Rob
