After trying for an asteroid occultation, despite close Moon and high+low clouds, it became slightly more clear. I found that USA 184 was near culmination, and observed it in my astroclub's 12" LX200 before driving home to bed again. Obsreduce didn't show one of the stars in my first 5' split, so I created a dummy appulse from a SkyMap plot. The second was also 5' split. It was about 5' offtrack and 4m 47s late 29249 06 027A 5917 F 20071126035005680 17 25 0729357+492281 27 S+095 05 29249 06 027A 5917 F 20071126035059760 17 25 0730086+491206 27 S+095 05 (as always, IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html) -- Björn Gimle -- -- COSPAR 5917, STAR, +18.05447 (E), +59.34185 (N), 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918 WGS84, +18.10127 (E), +59.29813 (N), 44 m -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, +18.6206 (E), +59.2615 (N), 33 m -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
