I thought I have some fun, and use ted's program to measure a position for Aqua. I captured a still image from a pass of of Aqua. http://www.kfetter.100megs26.com/observe/aqua.jpg The time of the still is May 5, 2005 at 6:33:05.9602 UTC +/- 0.03 seconds. The config file I used. http://www.kfetter.100megs26.com/observe/ObsReduce.ini Aqua is 27424 I measured the screen and got 15 mm / 62 mm. 62 mm is what I got for the distance between the bright star at the top, and the bright star at the bottom, that aqua form's a line with. Aqua was 15 mm from the bottom bright star. So 15/62= 0.2419 So I used 0.2419 where it say's frac AS/AB I would estimate aqua was around mag 4.9 at the time. I got the following result. 2005 May 09 06:33:05.96 UTC 02022A 27424 Star A: 20:47:10.7534 +34:22:26.869 (2000.0) Mag 5.076 Star B: 20:53:53.8920 +33:26:16.416 (2000.0) Mag 5.644 Object on line AB, 0.241900 from A to B; Star Sep = 1.679 deg Object: 20:48:49.0926 +34:08:59.256 (2000.0) +/- 0.084 deg (0.050 X Star Sep) Obs - Pred: 0.838 deg X-track; 0.481 s early, relative -0.11 day old elset: 27424 02 022A 1776 G 20050509063305960 36 25 2048818+340899 58 S Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
