PPAS observations made using My CoSaTrak system and identified
during routine satellite tracking. Optical characteristics reported
only cover the approximate 3-4 degrees of the field of view of the
CCD camera.All satellites seen were positively identified.

Notes:
(1) TVSAT1 is a near geostationary object, period 1455.74 minutes with an
inclination of 9.7 degrees. It became obvious as a result of very bright
flashes to about magnitude +3 every 22.4 seconds and invisible in
between.
(2) FEDSAT was only briefly seen as it became as bright as magnitude +8.2
before fading back to invisibility.
Cheers
Greg
