Observations made 05 Jan 2003
----------------------------------

CoSaTrak 1, 85mm f/1.6 lens with 0.003 lux CCD surveillance camera.
          + 25mm f/1.4 lens with 0.01 lux surveillance camera

Conditions - good- Seeing v good - fast low cloud drifting over

Cospar Site #0433  Long 18.5129 E, Lat 33.9406 S, altitude 10 metres

10502 77 112A   0433 G 20030105193513400 17 15 0415128-283529 39 S+060 05

Note:

(1) Seen by accident whilst looking for something else.

(2) The following are two positions for a satellite observed that I
cannot find in my current ALLDAT.TLE. Maybe someone would like to try
and identify it for fun. I dont think its anything exciting.

99998 50 003A   0433 G 20030105203816600 17 15 0145214-222633 39 S+075 05

Assuming a circular orbit I get an inclination of around 43 degrees, period
about 101 minutes and an altitude at the time of around 807 kms. It looks
like an
ORBCOM related object.

Cheers
Greg
