Obs SatTrackCam Leiden (Cospar 4353), 22 Mar 2006: 26473 00 047A 4353 P 20060322195001100 17 75 0955113+244020 56 M+000 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 I report only one point here, as only the start of the trail (very fat!!) was unambiguous enough to measure, the end faded out and was very indistinct on the image. Poor imaging conditions (haze!), hence bad trail limiting magnitude. The position reported here is 0.3 seconds early with regard to Mike's 9 day old elset 06072.38962997. It corresponds quite well in delta T to the series of positions on 2000-047A obtained by Scott 20 hours earlier (delta T also -0.3 sec). The point reported here more or less coincides within a second or so with the brightest point of a bright magnitude zero flare lasting less than 10 seconds. The image (reduced quality crop) can be seen here (movement is from right to left, star field shows Leo): http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/marcoaliaslama/satellites/2203lac4.jpg - Marco :-) ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
