What a night-I use a 6.25" reflector for doing this, after a cloudy day conditions improved towards twilight, however, intermittent high cloud gave me major problems in finding the reference star I wanted to use-HD85376-also I had my sons friends staying overnight so several 11 year olds clamouring for views of every stellar object visble this side of the galaxy caused a lot of frustration and a requirement for lager relief. However, observation and timing was made-but when I checked star charts (ciel software) I found that the observation I made did not corelate closley to the prediction I had run using TLE files dated 18th may. The ref star area I used - HD85376 in leo was OK-but the observation position against the time was to "south" of star-prediction indicated north?-Anyway, below is obsentry output.Please give me feedback re accuracy? 24680 96 072A 2453 B 20010519094216470 57 75 0951105+242870 57 S+040 05 http://www.amos39.f9.co.uk station 2453 53 deg 23 min 49secs N 2 deg 4 min 57 secs W ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
