Hi All, Managed to log nearly 2 hours of "flash watch" time on Superbird A last night. After computing the new spin axis (and flipping it around 180 degrees to make cone angles and times increase and decrease together), I determined that I covered the cone angles from 110-124 degrees. (There were no flashes brighter than magitude +8). Tonite I'll try to cover some of the angles from 90 to 110. For those that keep track of such things (e.g. Bjorn) the new axis is RA 9.3533h, Dec +7.395 deg, cone angle 89.97 deg (i.e. 90 deg). Precession rate remains .0405 degrees per day. Some predicted phase shift times tonite (Thursday local, Friday UT): San Fran: 3:33 UT Seattle: 3:34 Los Angeles: 3:35 UT Denver: 3:42 Austin, TX: 3:46 Chicago: 3:50:30 Washington, D.C.: 3:55:30 New York City: 3:56 Boston: 3:57 Cheers, Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
