Folks, I have an unidentified geostationary satellite on one of my images of this evening. It is about 0.5 degrees west of the duo Turksat 2A (01-002A) and Turksat 3A (08-030B) and about the same brightness. Can't find a match to any known object, public or classified. Positions for all 3 objects (from 2 images 20 seconds apart): UNID 99999 10 342A 4353 G 20101208210402300 17 75 0513341-072580 56 99999 10 342A 4353 G 20101208210422300 17 75 0513542-072590 56 Turksat 2A 26666 01 002A 4353 G 20101208210402300 17 75 0515394-072750 56 26666 01 002A 4353 G 20101208210422300 17 75 0515595-072760 56 Turksat 3A 33056 08 030B 4353 G 20101208210402300 17 75 0515293-072890 56 33056 08 030B 4353 G 20101208210422300 17 75 0515497-072910 56 Images taken with the Canon 450D + Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar MC 2.8/180mm @ 800 ISO. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
