I just wondered if anybody on this list has considered using the MMTO
camera for satellite observations.

It is a 'fish eye' lens that is mounted on a mountain in Arizona that
takes images every 10 seconds, 24 hours a day.  Though limited to
about 6 mag (for stars), I am sure that some folks on this list could
find a use for the data provided.

Here is a link to the evening/morning of 12-13 August (local).  Just
how many satellites can a person see?  (how about meteors?)
