Hi all, Only one out of the three obtained Nanosail-D images of tonight yields usefull results, as the other two have completely saturated trails (satellite too bright- visually it was clearly variable at that time though). The flash period on this image is irregular, but two flash intervals pop up repeatedly: ~0.52s and ~1.0s Image 31052011_4 31 May 2011 22:22:17.30 - 22:22:27.35 UTC flash times (UTC): 22:22:17.40 22:22:18.35 22:22:18.87 22:22:19.39 22:22:19.88 22:22:20.85 22:22:21.56 22:22:22.57 22:22:23.08 22:22:24.00 22:22:25.09 22:22:25.68 22:22:26.40 22:22:27.17 Positions will follow tomorrow (also captured USA 161 and USA 224 as well as a Lacrosse). Will post lightcurve tomorrow as well (also of USA 224, which flared in the zenith). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
