Hi Phil, The satellite was Radsat (USSPACECOM #6217). (I assumed you were off by 1 degree in the longitude.) I can send you a SkyMap plot showing the track relative to M51 and NGC 5195. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org [mailto:SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 1:19 PM To: 'Allen Thomson'; SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: RE: Unknown object observed through galaxy M51 My apologies, folks. I got the observatory coordinates off our website, and there's a typo. The longitude is 122 41 15 (west, or negative). I'll tell my webmaster to correct that! Also, I made a typo of my own: I listed the RA of M51 as 13d 30 m when it should have been 13h 30 m (hours instead of degrees). I hope no one was confused.
