Notes:
(1) Sky too bright to give estimate of magnitude for first 5 observations
other than bright enough to observe plus a few stars.
(2) Observations of Noss 2-2 triplet done at 10 degrees elevation
(3) Yesterday I commented on being unable to see USA 136 rocket when it was
a very favourable pass. I checked my predictions today against another
prediction program and discovered that my program predicted a time 6
minutes too early, so it appears I have a bug in my SGP4 code for this
particular orbit values. Trying to find the bug may take a bit of time
so whilst I am about it has anyone got the SDP4 code (in BASIC!) that
they might be prepared to let me have so I could plug it into my
program. I recall someone on SeeSat offering this code two-three years
ago? I know BASIC is primitive but then so am I. (My program is in
BASIC).
My e-mail address is okay to use if anyone has the code. Many thanks.
(4) I still have my Raduga 27 observations to report but that will have to
wait until after the weekend-I will not be able to process them today as
I have run out of time.
Cheers
Greg
