I sent SkyMap screen shots to Ulhas (and Atul) 14905 passed 0.2 deg above , 5 seconds before 20:45 21429 passed the dark sector of the Moon, but 3 min. later. I agree it is diffucult without the photograph. (a trail long like Saturn would indicate a geosynchronous, if it was receorded the full second), but no star there? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bjorn Gimle" <b.gimle@chello.se> To: "Ulhas Deshpande" <ulhas@nagpur.dot.net.in> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 7:03 AM Subject: Re: Sattelite tracks during Saturn Occultation? > How about this/these ? > I used my current satbase.tle, then added the two I found from alldat.tle > 2002-01-28. > Then one with the alldat.tle only, and star magnitudes included (I use Tycho > catalogue) > > 14905 NOAA 5 Dlt 1 deb ET 76077ET > 1 14905U 76077ET 02025.12774520 -.00000033 00000-0 10000-3 0 580 > 2 14905 102.2443 75.7723 0184479 274.6560 83.3441 12.06992284843574 > Molniya 1-81 r2 91043D > 1 21429U 91043D 02023.68906431 .00000872 00000-0 10000-3 0 5828 > 2 21429 63.9323 259.1875 6784943 264.9576 20.9084 1.96647198 76167 > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ulhas Deshpande" <ulhas@nagpur.dot.net.in> > To: "Seesat-L" <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> > Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 7:57 AM > Subject: Sattelite tracks during Saturn Occultation? > > > > Hello All > > My photographs of saturn occultation on 24 Jan 2002 have just come back > from > > processing.
