Observed from site 5918. As usual, I left my good equipment at 5919. I saw that USA 129 was on time, and Ir65 performed a predicted -8.3 flash. My father-in-law had a similar -7.1 from Ir46. Terra was easy and steady at mag. +4.2 (exactly as predicted with Skymap and mccants.tle std.mag +4.5) around predicted time 19:39:54. I missed looking for the 14.70 elset for Mike's/Russell's object. Something appeared on a parallell track around 20:41 UT near RA 8:37 +45.5. Speed as expected for the 14.60 orbit. This could have been 20436 Spot 2 90-5 A -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L / Visual Satellite Observer Home Page found at -- -- http://www2.satellite.eu.org/satintro.html -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
