megalithic Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 How accurate is the timing? In a word, very. The time listed is for the actual flare though, you need to start observing a minute before to locate the satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing me I will probably miss the satellite! So, about 10 minutes past midnight...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Past 11. ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 21:21 ---------- ....and remind me what time it will really be then (BST). 12 minutes past 11. Though start looking for the satellite around 11 minutes past. It'll look like a plane with no lights, but gradually brighten to a flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll look like a plane with no lights, but gradually brighten to a flare. You listed it as GMT though, so that does mean it'll be past midnight local time in the UK?

clarissa Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 No. Past 11. Ah, okay! Was thinking along the lines of BST. I was planning to be in bed by 11 o'clock, but I will stay up now. ---------- Post added 02-05-2013 at 21:32 ---------- You listed it as GMT though, so that does mean it'll be past midnight local time in the UK? That is what I assumed ... past my bedtime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
