I was planning on looking at Galaxy 26, but I ran into a problem. Since they are playing around with it, as they retire it from service, it wasn't seen where predicted by space track data. Another geo sat, ie astra 1H ( 25785 ) was to be in the feild of view. As I viewed the image being taken, I noticed another sat. I ran a check, nothing predicted to be there. Beacause I had reserved time for later, I was able to observe it, and see how it behaved. It's slowly drifting in orbit, from what I see. Even allowing for them playing around with galaxy 26, I don't see it being the cause. I am bothered by the path taken, and the way galaxy 26 would pass, even allowing for inclination change. So I will blame the unid, being a sat launched from that proton rocket recently. http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3793107&s=9601 http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3793158&s=3626 http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3793166&s=5344 http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3793174&s=9323 http://www.slooh.com/viewsnap.php?img=3793244&s=4475 Kevin Remember I don't think straight, so pay not attention to me. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Fri May 02 2014 - 20:44:48 UTC
