Thursday I used for the first time a telescope, computer driven by Brent Boshart's SatTrack (LXSAT) Practical arrangements made it difficult to use its along-track and cross-track adjustment capabilities, but I managed to switch from a 50x to a 140x eyepiece for the last (three) obs of USA 198. 20:36:55 is just an appulse, but 20:36:35 is a split of a 1' pair. X-track errors vs. 08016. elset are about .4', .4', .4',.1',.0',.9' but offset from prediction +82.6,+81.1,+86.3,+90.2,+89.9,+90.5 Although I had difficulties recognizing in ObsReduce the stars I scribbled down, comparing to SkyMap removed all uncertainty. The large variation could be due to the low apparent speed of the object. Milstar 5 was about 43 s late, though the first point gave 31 s !? 27168 02 001A 5917 P 20080124195217810 37 25 0609965-061837 77 S 27168 02 001A 5917 P 20080124195629700 37 25 0613950-061852 47 S 27168 02 001A 5917 P 20080124195723090 37 25 0614829-061694 77 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124200808890 37 25 0420887+574606 57 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124201105850 37 25 0423984+572954 37 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124201806840 37 25 0431180+564851 67 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124202957550 37 25 0443438+552996 67 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124203635220 37 25 0450392+544068 56 S 32378 07 060A 5917 P 20080124203655860 37 25 0450801+543886 37 S -- Björn Gimle -- -- COSPAR 5917, STAR, +18.05447 (E), +59.34185 (N), 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918 WGS84, +18.10127 (E), +59.29813 (N), 44 m -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, +18.6206 (E), +59.2615 (N), 33 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
