Obs SatTrackCam Leiden (Cospar 4352), 30 Aug 2005: 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20050830203600800 17 75 2152377+151320 56 S+020 10 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20050830203611500 17 75 2208036+179970 56 S+020 10 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20050830203700800 17 75 2328281+295610 56 S+020 10 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20050830203711500 17 75 2346312+314600 56 S+020 10 Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software. Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field f2.8/7.41 mm. What these numbers mean: http://www.satellite.eu.org/position/IODformat.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Slightly hazy, but reasonable conditions. Obtained two instead of one images of 00-047A (Lacrosse 4) spaced 1 minute apart as it traversed Pegasus, and hence 4 points. Second pic shows the typical orange colour well. Sat seemed some 0.15 seconds late relative to elset 05240.93550308 Might give Lacrosse 3 a try later tonight as well, if my alarm clock cooperates. Yesterday it did not and I woke up 30 minutes too late.... Experimenting with a slightly different camera setting today (other color/contrast setting). Have some idea that trails come out better as a result. - Marco :-) ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4352 Leiden, the Netherlands, 52.15894 N, 4.48883 E (WGS84), +5 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
