USA 129 appeared to be 1.1 s early wrt to 04071.84 elset; also track offsets. I also got four points on a "bright highly retrograde" object, but it was easily id-ed as Okean-O rk, so I didn't reduce the points. KH 9-18 confirmed my 2004-02-20 obs, but I had accidentally pushed my stopwatch into readout mode, and I didn't memorize exact positions. So the times are only subjective, and the positions verified to match my search elset about six times more accurately than the 03277.12 elset - hence my estimate for a +-20 second error (though the times for 02-20 do match my search elset: KH 9-18 El modif 0.8 0.5 0.0 9.0 d 0.5 1 14139U 83060C 4051.87375620 .00000020 00000-0 72751-4 0 15 2 14139 96.6580 148.9578 0002000 326.4034 33.6950 12.93708587 18083 ). The satellite was varying smoothly between +9 (?) and invisible with (less than) 10 s period (not timed), but I was able to follow it for about 70 seconds. Unfortunately, I had not enough time to defrost the scope for next pass. 17:43:13.61 position is accurate, but appears to have a timing error. 17:43:42.35 is an inaccurate 4 degree split 17:44:01.54 almost occultation, barely decide which side (7*50) 17:45:14.25 almost occultation, barely decide which side (7*50) 19:21:35.96 "Occultation" 19:22:43.56 45' star split 19:23:09.26 Timation 2 rk crossed USA 129 seconds ahead on an "exactly" horizontal track - the position is very rough, timed when USA129 passed the intersection. 19:23:18.93 15' star split 20:16:50 See above KH 9-18 20:17:31 See above KH 9-18 -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
