In the morning of Apr 22 I tried again to catch USA 179 r, but it does not appear to be visible in the 48 images I took in 64 min. The inttles and the extrapolated SGP4 elsets for this object differ by >20 min/day, so an observation window one day is of little use to choose one a few days later. The estimated uncertainty of the old elset is more than one orbit, so a full scan must be done, but my camera batteries (and I around 2 AM) are not up to it. I have so far identified #39287_#39462+16881_#39012_#28646_#26070+28376 in 9 images The two classified objects are recently observed, so my 1s camera accuracy is of little use. UNIDs in 16 images, mainly because I haven't yet identified the star fields. Two of these contain a bright object, close to the orbits of USA 161 and IGS 8 DbE, but about 130 km higher, which I cannot find in Heavensat, IDsat or SkyMap. 00000 12 612A 5919 E 20140422023641000 18 25 1224356+521941 55 S 00000 12 612A 5919 E 20140422023648000 38 25 1201370+543641 55 S 00000 12 612A 5919 E 20140422023715000 18 25 0924699+595807 55 S 00000 12 612A 5919 E 20140422023725000 18 25 0838636+590516 55 S -- ---------------------------------------- Björn Gimle, COSPAR 5919 59.2617 N, 18.6169 E, 51 m Phone: +46 (0)8 571 43 312 Mobile: +46 (0) 704 385 486 _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed Apr 23 2014 - 07:36:18 UTC
