Obs SatTrackCam Leiden (Cospar 4353), 4 March 2006: 28646 05 016A 4353 G 20060304202636100 17 75 0451134+230060 56 +010 10 28646 05 016A 4353 G 20060304202646800 17 75 0501142+262700 56 +005 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software. Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field f2.8/7.41 mm. What these numbers mean: http://www.satellite.eu.org/position/IODformat.html Lacrosse 5 was flaring while I obtained this image. Maximum brightness at about mag 0 was about 5 seconds after the last point (=end of exposure), short before shadow entry. Trail on image is very bright and well-defined, no difficulty at all measuring this one.
