Mike McCants has just informed me that I made another boo-boo with the extra position reported this morning. I checked and came up with a new time/position and at the moment I dont understand how I could have made what was obviously a mistake- either I am a complete idiot ( not at all impossible!!!) or the program that I am using to display the video recorder is messing around ( I dont see how its possible but something went wrong!). 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.
