Morning Gerhard ( and other readers) Ive downloaded the two images and had a quick look - after doing some light image processing on the first image- it was too dark- there are an enormous number of stars and Lacrosse 4 is much easier to spot. I will have a good look at it a little later today-first have some domestic chores to attend to -and give a full report. My first impression is that I envy you: (1) your camera (2) your dark sky I am confident that the camera will adequately perform on most LEO satellites- and on most geosats. With LEO sats you will have problems re the time of the image as ideally to 0.1 seconds is required - Marco achieves this with his digital camera so is the man to approach re this aspect. On geosats 1 second accuracy is adequate and this should be no problem for you - but depends on how and where you get your time from . When I give my report on your image Ill also give you a list of geosats to try that are easy and also some other suggestions- I am confident that we can soon have you producing very useful positional observations and help spread the load of being a southern hemisphere observer!
