Greetings, Using elements from Heavens Above for today (November 19, 2011 local) with the Epoch of 11323.00786405, I believe I had a pass of NOSS 3-1 (C). I also used the all sats file from Space-Trak, and the classfd.tle from Mike McCants, and there were no other objects that passed over those stars at the times I saw what I hope was NOSS 3-1 (C). There are a lot of satellites that are older in element time, and it could have been one of them as I am unable, even using Element Manager (Thank you Rick von Glahn) to try and update the older elements. As seen from my front yard here in Woolmarket, MS (30.4854°N, 89.0027°W), the object was moving north to south, and passed over the star 15-Eta Persei, (RA: 02h 50m 41.810s Dec: +55°53'43.786" (Epoch 2000) at about 6:06:20 pm (00:06:20 UTC). It then passed about 4° below 4-Beta Trianguli (RA: 02h 09m 32.627s Dec: +34°59'14.269" (Epoch 2000) at about 6:08:35 pm (00:08:35 UTC). It was steady in brightness, about mag 3, with no flaring or flashing. According to HA, it will have some good passes over the next several days, so I hope to see and time it better if the clouds will stay away. Best to all, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
