Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field f2.8/7.41 mm. What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flares: 01-044A (USA 161): slow to -1.5 at 00:12:50 UTC 01-044A (USA 161): fast to -1 at 00:14:13 UTC Very clear and dark night. USA 161 was bright short after emergence from eclipse, and made a second short flare later. IGS 1B was bright too, reaching +1 in Umi. While aiming the camera in preparation for 07-005C (IGS 4r), a bright +2 object appeared in the west in a very similar track, some 2 minutes earlier. I took a shot, and it turned out to be 07-005A (IGS 4A), which I had not expected to become so bright. IGS 4r was seen next, reaching +1 while close to Arcturus. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
