I decided I would spend the morning spotting satelites and it turned
out to be a excellent move. At last no clouds and a very dark sky
indeed. Here is the list of satelites I saw:
7 unknown
Cosmos 1222
Cosmos 1143 Rocket
Cosmos 1484 Rocket
GPS 2-25 Rocket
ETS-7 H2 Rocket
GPS II Rocket
Hubble Space Telescope
Mir
(total = 15)
All sightings were made according to GSOC predictions. At aprox. 4:20
am I saw a HUGE Fireball (meteor). I was gasping for breath after
seeing it, it would have been clearly visible in broad daylight!
Unfortunately the great viewing conditions were spoilt by the rising
sun!
Cheers.
