Thanks Mike for interpreting my rough report accurately! I have now listened to my recordings, and corrected my notes and ObsReduce results. I just hope that I didn't chase red herrings (My elset file is old, and I haven't seen any response on my SpaceTrack registration) 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050301193141300 17 25 1845628+480468 48 S 28059 03 049C 5919 E 20050301193141300 17 25 1858786+461732 48 S 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050301193224540 17 25 1923649+431909 38 S 24680 96 072A 5919 E 20050303191133420 17 25 1736593+684291 28 S 99000 99 000X 5919 E 20050303191209000 18 25 1858565+604004 69 S 99000 99 000X 5919 E 20050303191214000 18 25 1839323+593168 69 S 24680 96 072A 5919 E 20050303191238190 17 25 1935400+523333 38 S 27698 03 009A 5919 E 20050303192240260 17 25 1749783+481734 38 S 27698 03 009A 5919 E 20050303192331520 17 25 1855182+435254 97 S 27700 03 009C 5919 E 20050303200452410 17 25 0039939+425895 19 S 27700 03 009C 5919 E 20050303200513040 17 25 0006610+415386 28 S 27700 03 009C 5919 E 20050303200542420 17 25 2325711+404063 28 S 27700 03 009C 5919 E 20050303200609090 17 25 2258330+391134 38 S 27700 03 009C 5919 E 20050303200632170 17 25 2239582+373844 77 S 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050303201923950 17 25 2149257+490785 28 S 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050303201923950 17 25 2152971+485591 58 S 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050303202003850 17 25 2145366+430564 38 S 27699 03 009B 5919 E 20050303202019630 17 25 2143108+410930 55 S What these numbers mean: http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/IODprograms.htm If I did observe IGS 1B, it apparantly needs a correction of -.25 in RAAN on Mike's elset to fit my corrected IOD format observations: IGS 1B 05062.8474 1 27699U 03009B 5062.84740000 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 15 2 27699 97.3600 137.0130 0002222 124.6391 307.9519 15.25984790 14 ? Description of 2-line elements: http://www.satobs.org/element.html At about 19:12:09 an object moved in DIR=110 appr. 2 gr above USA 129, mag +6? I should/could have seen Lacrosse 4 round 19:12:15, but its DIR was around 94 degrees. More similar was 69082EP, but it should have passed 19:10:00+-20s and be very faint. Two northbound UNIDs and one in DIR=120 found near the spot where I was to look for IGS 1B: 20:10:19 SPOT (sic!) 5 ? - matches the recorded notes 20:14:17 ADEOS 2 ? (matches) Meteor 1-29 (doesn't) 20:17:06 (late keypress?) Cosmos 1437 rk ? As expected, clouds have started to roll in, and the night temperatures are now above -5 at night (temporarily). However, yesterday it was almost clear at 21:41 UTC when Rosetta was predicted to pass very close to xi Gem. I was using my 200 mm at 40x, watching -3 to +4 min,and saw nothing 8-(> A friend of mine, 40 km to the SW, also failed with 15*60 binoculars (too much snow to roll out his 15" Dobson) /Björn -- 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
