Binocular obs, 28.5 s early on 9.9 day old elset according to ObsReduce SkyMap shows 5 s early on 6.9 day old set. I missed starting the voice recorder, and the position is "as predicted" along the proper 23' star split (zet Cyg): 30591 07 005F 5919 G 20070507220444430 17 25 2113678+300188 39 S Milstar 5 was easy in 8" (and steady during the 12 minutes I observed it) 22 s late using SkyMap SGP4, 18s early with SGP, 2' above prediction, 5.5 s early, relative 18.6 day old elset in ObsReduce. The tight split of a mag +7.6/+8.0 star pair made the last magnitude value quite accurate (rel my usual ones) Believe it or not - I think this is my first telescopic of a geostationary, at least without siderial tracking the telescope . 27168 02 001A 5919 G 20070507222936670 57 25 1534382-090070 77 S 27168 02 001A 5919 G 20070507223255530 17 25 1537634-090210 28 S+077 04 27168 02 001A 5919 G 20070507223404480 17 25 1538850-090195 27 S 27168 02 001A 5919 G 20070507223557730 17 25 1540786-090271 47 S+078 02 27168 02 001A 5919 G 20070507224059340 57 25 1545829-090361 68 S The observations above are, as I always do, reported in IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html -- Björn Gimle -- -- COSPAR 5918 WGS84, +18.10127 (E), +59.29813 (N), 44 m -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, +18.6206 (E), +59.2615 (N), 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5920, FRUVIK,+18.4820 (E), +59.3260 (N), 11 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
