NEW SITE: These observations were made from a new temporary site about 2 km from my regular site, called Leiden Cronesteyn. If Pierre agrees I will designate it Cospar 4355. Coordinates: 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL 28888 05 042A 4355 F 20140226202407250 17 75 2324475+586100 56 28888 05 042A 4355 F 20140226202417250 17 75 2304271+579590 56 28888 05 042A 4355 F 20140226202427250 17 75 2246410+571750 56 28888 05 042A 4355 F 20140226202437250 17 75 2231268+563270 56 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canon EOS 60D + Samyang 1.4/85mm, 800 ISO + ASTRORECORD astrometric software. What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The KH window is opening for my latitude. As visual passes are still restricted to very low North, I cannot observe USA 186 from my regular site yet. I therefore went to a new spot just out ow town, in the Cronesteyn polder some 2 km SE of my normal location. It is about 10-15 minutes by bicycle. If Pierre agrees, I will designate it Cospar 4355 As the satellite is faint so low in the N-NW, I used the 85 mm to capture it. It shows up well in the images. 05-042A was about 10s early relative to Mike's 5-day old elset 14052.78718702 I also did a short sweep of parts of the geostationary belt: data on these will be reported later (probably this weekend as I don't have much time the coming two days). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org 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 Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed Feb 26 2014 - 22:46:55 UTC
