Observations 04 Jan 2005: ---------------------------- Cosatrak 1 (Computerised satellite Tracking System). MINTRON low light level CCD surveillance camera (0.005 lux typical in non integration mode) and 0.00005 lux in STARLIGHT mode with 128 frame integration. Used with 200mm focal length f/3.5 lens field of view of about 1.805 by 1.334 degrees and easily showing 12th magnitude stars. Site 0433 : Longitude 18.51294 deg East, Latitude 33.94058 deg S, Elevation 10 metres - situated in Pinelands (Cape Town), South Africa NOTE! - amended positions! 14729 84 012D 0433 G 20050104213956200 56 15 0042113-454226 39 14729 84 012D 0433 G 20050104214034600 56 15 0127451-414442 39 14729 84 012D 0433 G 20050104214054900 56 15 0150246-390116 39 14729 84 012D 0433 G 20050104214113000 56 15 0216480-350330 39 Notes: ~~~~~~ These are amended positions - I measured the wrong end of the star trail. The position for 21h41m13.0s UT is not that great as I was missing the correct end of the star trail, so I added another position at 21h40m54.9s UT. My apologies to Mike for causing some confusion- I hopefully will not make the same mistake again :-)) Cheers Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
