Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field f2.8/7.41 mm. What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clear, cloudless skies but not as clear as yesterday. As I was very tired I quit after catching the NOSS 3-4 rocket again. It is a very fine object, moving slowly across the sky and slowly varying between +1.5 and +4. I lost my first of 3 images on NOSS 3-4r because Frenkie, the cat of my neighbour, was hugging the camera tripod. As a result the trail was wobbled on the image and I did not measure it hence. I am trying to convince Frenkie now that this type of action, as adorable as he is, is endangering his health... ;-) At 23:11:36 I observed a brilliant -8 yellow coloured flare of Iridium 67. The central flare path was almost exactly over my house. - Marco :-) ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
