If a satellite has not been observed in a long time, it will not likely be observed during the week, so it must be reported. Conversely, recently observed satellites are usually reported again by the same observer, or others, and if you haven't already reduced the obs you could skip it. But if you can spare the time, it could improve the orbit fit, or help detect misidentification/timing errors, by you or even other observers. /Björn 2014-03-22 11:41 GMT+01:00 Kevin Fetter <kfetter_at_yahoo.com>: > -------------------------------------------- > On Fri, 3/21/14, Derek C Breit <breit_ideas_at_poyntsource.com> wrote: > > >As for me, I don't have home internet and have been quite > > busy, so the question is..
