Observations 23 May 2006:Part 2 -------------------------------- Herewith balance of observations- could not use DVD recording so had to use the hard-drive recording - something I now do as a result of frequent power failures causing me to loose the DVD recording so the hard-drive is used as a back-up. Cosatrak 1 (Computerised satellite Tracking System). MINTRON low light level CCD surveillance camera (0.005 lux typical in non integration mode) and 0.00005 lux in STARLIGHT mode with 128 frame integration. Used with 145mm focal length f/2.5 lens,integrating for 64 frames which is equivalent to an exposure of 1.28 seconds per image.
