What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nice clear sky allowed to target geostationary objects. I need clear transparent sky for that, as for me they are at 15-30 degrees elevation only, in an urban environment. I used the 1.4/85 mm lens this time instead of the 2.8/180mm. The limiting magnitude is almost as good, and the FOV is twice as large (14 x 10 degrees). The result: lots of objects in one image (up to 20 objects in one image!). The downside: lots of objects to ID and measure.....took me a full day. Above are 8 classified objects and 30 non-classified objects, located along an approx. 30 degrees equatorial stretch... Non-classifieds were measured only once, and I did not measure LEO strays seen. NOTES: The object called PAN above is the object discovered by Greg, located somewhat east of Hellas-sat 2 and about similar brightness. The DSP F20 cover initially appeared to me as a slowly moving UNID, as Heavensat depicted nothing on the location, but Ted's IDsat identified the object as such, albeit with a clear and non-linear delta-T so it should better be checked whether the ID is correct.. The DSCS3-13 R2 was somewhat off as well, but elements were old. Also, my first obs of a DSP satellite. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
