hi all, Just observed a pass of a -2 ISS against a blue twilight sky at 62 deg maximum elevation through holes in the cloud cover. Due to the weather a.o., this for me was the first sighting since it was upgraded with new components. To my eye it was indeed orange-red, as some have commented here. The contrast with the blue sky background might have played a role in this - perhaps when complety dark, it would have appeared more "white". - 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
