Hoi, Second night of observation. Very clear skies, with no wind. A real pleasure to observe in such weather. I had planned to measure 5 positions, but one failed because the sat appeared too early and I wasn't having the stopwatch nearby and the last failed because I had aimed my telescope at the wrong starfield (oops). I'm waiting to get a station code assigned, so for those that want to do something with these observations I've placed my coordinates below. 25017 97 064A G 20000823211250500 57 25 2021153+125005 57 26062 00 004B G 20000823214041390 57 25 0045380+551434 57 25744 99 028A G 20000823223956230 57 25 1919640+542279 57 Observation site: Beesd, Netherlands Latitude: 51°54'41" North Longitude: 05°10'25" East Elevation: -2 m Thanks for all your replies to my first set of observations. Using OBSENTRY now to convert my observations to the IOD format and Rob Matsons Skymap 6.4 to get the position of the sat. Please let me know if these observations are accurate enough to use. As Wayne Hughes, I also hope I haven't made any big mistakes.
