I did see all three.. No Timing was attempted.. Derek www.poyntsource.com/New/index.htm -----Original Message----- From: John A.

I have a possible triple pass I would not want to miss.. I had clouds move in just as the ATV passed. ISS was visible through some of the cloud due to its extreme brightness (-2), but the Shuttle was not visible at any point. The ATV was about 13s late (+-0.5s) compared to Heavens-Above predicitions, and about eight seconds late using my tools. The ATV hit its highest elevation at 01:31:32 UTC. These are based on the 32686/08-8A elset with epoch 08085.11916192. I used a theodolite for this pass to try to work out some details for the next iteration of my tools. This pass' elevation here was so high that I had difficulty seeing into the eyepiece. So, I either get to pick the ability to mostly ignore the optical effects of the atmosphere, or acutely feel it as I ruin my neck. 8> John - -- COSPAR 8330 30d8m42.6sN 97d52m43.8sW/30.145167 -97.878833 220m WGS84 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH6cK5ThFRLa48rEYRAl+fAJ4xW7tWQ3JnBTKG+yKIQZ1SFqkmRACcDRwX Kitv5inU9/NKteSuhtOShBk= =yHj6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
