This evening I could observe the 00- 04 objects twice. The first pass was low in the east, the second to about 55 deg in the north. In the first pass I saw the Minotaur rocket (F), followed almost a minute later by Asusat-1 (A), and 5,5 min later by OCS (B, new Norad Cospar-ID). About 4 seconds leading OCS was object E (Jawsat). Most of the time it was visible at mag 7, but seemed to become a bit brighter several times. In the second pass i missed the rocket, but saw OCS with leading a little bit in front Jawsat. It was dimmer than in the previous pass; only several times seen at mag 8. 00- 4 A 00-02-02 18:01:56.61LB var, 6->i 00- 4 B 00-02-02 18:07:35.87LB S, 4 00- 4 B 00-02-02 19:46:03.39LB S,4, RA=21:20 d=+69 00- 4 E 00-02-02 18:07:32.07LB var, 7->i 00- 4 E 00-02-02 19:46 LB var, 8->i 00- 4 F 00-02-02 18:01 LB S, 4 76- 19 A 00-02-02 18:58:23 LB 137.6 0.2 30 4.59 FF, 5->i, sm , 6 82- 66 B 00-02-02 17:40 LB S, 5 87- 18 A 00-02-02 18:24:37 LB 92.9 0.5 6 15.5 AA, 4->i 87- 18 A 00-02-02 20:06:27 LB 91.9 0.2 6 15.31 'F-f-a-f-'F, 4-5-6-5-4->i 88- 19 A 00-02-02 19:54 LB S, 7 88- 62 B 00-02-02 17:44:34 LB 47.3 0.5 4 11.8 AA, 6->i 88- 62 B 00-02-02 19:27:57 LB 114.6 0.5 10 11.5 AA, 5->i 91- 19 B 00-02-02 18:28:33 LB 68.7 0.5 4 17.2 AA, 5->i 91- 59 B 00-02-02 19:11 LB almost S, 5 92- 20 B 00-02-02 18:14 LB almost S, 6 92- 73 B 00-02-02 20:02:23 LB 218.7 2.0 2 109 MM, 4->6 94- 23 B 00-02-02 18:45 LB almost S, 4 94- 68 B 00-02-02 19:18 LB almost S, 6 95- 8 B 00-02-02 18:20 LB S, 3 95- 12 B 00-02-02 17:50:04 LB 123.5 1.0 2 61.7 MM, 5->i 96- 25 B 00-02-02 19:21 LB almost S, 5 97- 64 B 00-02-02 18:39:46 LB 151.7 1.0 3 50.6 MM, 2->5 99- 25 C 00-02-02 19:15:15 LB 111.0 0.5 4 27.7 AA, 4->7 99- 41 E 00-02-02 18:35 LB S, 4 99- 45 B 00-02-02 19:06:26 LB 86.9 0.5 10 8.7 AA, 4->i 99- 62 E 00-02-02 17:54 LB almost S, 3 Greetings and clear, dark skies Leo Barhorst 121 obs in 2000 52.767 N 5.09 E 2 m ASL ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
