Hello, I just subscribed and am sending out my introduction. My name is Tim Rogers and I have been observing earth satellites for about a year, mostly with information from Heavens Above. My usual observing site is in Sugar Hill, GA, USA (34° 05' 43"N, 84° 02' 42"W) with 4.5 magnitude seeing. I have been involved in the current discussion at sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe regarding identifying a satellite that appears to have been photographed near the Veil Nebula on November 7th from Chiefland, Florida, USA. The topic is "Satellite ID Help Requested..." I think that its a good chance that it might be Syncom 2, whose orbit is listed on Heavens Above as "lost", but is was a geosynchronous (not geostationary) orbit that was centered over the Pacific in the middle 1960's. Maybe it has drifted back over North America? Thanks in advance, Tim Rogers ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
