Tonight I thought, I go look for the DSP 20 cover with slooh. Using the intergrated orbit, I aimed where it was to pass. I had it imnage before and after it was to pass, to allow for error in arrival time. It was predicted to passed near a mag 6 star. I started looking at 4:02 utc, and it eventually showed up. So nice to be able to observe high up stuff, when I am under cloud. http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3270428&s=1366 A closer view. http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3270427&s=4501 Data from the Tycho catalog: TYC 188 998 J2000 position at current date (proper motion included): Right ascension: 07h50m51.0855s Declination: +04 27' 34.891" Slooh location 16.5083 N 28.2997 W 2360m Tech info Used Dome 2 Primary Instrument: 0.35 meter f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain Field of View: 13.1 × 8.8 arc-minutes Widefield Instrument: 85mm f/5.6 Apochromatic Refractor Field of View: 1.4 × 1.1 degrees _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
