Given that Mr Ireland's question is both pointed and pedantic, I will answer equally pedantically. What I posted was not a radio observation but a measured value of USA-179's mean motion - quite possibly of use to someone following this object visually. It is the reader's choice whether to follow the web link to where the ongoing observational measurements are plotted. Should you choose to, will find that the plot includes measurements derived from both radio and visual observations. I agree strongly with Ted's comments about the two forms of observation working together, particularly as it has been proved to work. More than one recent visual (re-)acquisition has been due to radio and visual observers working together. If anyone is genuinely interested in the actual radio observations that led to the mean motion measurement then I will be happy to discuss them outside this forum. Going back to the implication of Mr Ireland's question - if it is the wish of Seesat users that data derived from 'black' sources should not be posted to the Group, then I will desist.
