Thanks Ted for correcting my obs. Using your references I was able to conclue I indeed used the wrong stars to reduce my obs. From my notes the sats passed through a triangle of stars I id-ed as 15 and 18 UMA and a star at 09:14:00 +54:17:02; but the real stars of that triangle were 18 and 17 UMA and a star located at 09:29:48 +55:44:43, a mag 6.5 star. Ted used CG UMA which is to close to 17 UMA to fit my sketch of the star triangle. For the second point of my 03- 54 A obs I get a slightly different reducing: 28095 03 054A 4252 F 20040330201601170 17 25 0915707+564448 37 S+050 05 For the second point of 03- 53 C I get: 28097 03 054C 4252 F 20040330201608540 17 25 0927060+555713 78 S+050 05 Greetings and clear, dark skies Leo Barhorst, Medemblik NL Cospar 4252 52.76350 N 5.09114 E 2 m ASL http://www.home.zonnet.nl/leobarhorst/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Molczan" <molczan@rogers.com> To: "SeeSat-L" <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 11:37 PM Subject: RE: Obs Mar 30, reduced obs > Leo, thank you for your observations. > > Your second points of 03054A and 03054C, were nearly 3 deg off, because you > reduced the wrong stars.
