Hi all, and especially Jon, Observed and imaged the Dragon CRS 6 and three closely accompanying debris pieces crossing Orion low in the western sky from Leiden, the Netherlands, around 20:31 UT, 20 minutes after launch. Jon did an excellent job with his elset: the Dragon was a mere 45 seconds late to it! De Dragon itself was bright, about +1.5 and easily seen naked eye, seen by both me and my girlfriend (who 20 mins earlier watched the launch webcast with me). I did not visually see the three debris pieces (panel covers and upper stage?) flanking it closely as they were faint, but they do show up on my images. Will post the images later. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Tue Apr 14 2015 - 16:18:37 UTC
