I have just started satellite observation, partly by accident while
surfing for satellite pix of UK-I found Fells "Sathunt" software and
became quite interested-I have read the relevant see sat FAQ and
(as per ref e) this gives a brief description of me,a 39 year old
engineer, living in UK-North West England. As I have just started I
have only made about 6 positive idents from TLE data-2 were
impressive (mainly USA 86) which appeared at zenith at predicted
time on 3rd Oct and was a spectacular sight although 40% low
cloud obscured much of pass. I have read numerous reports from
the mailing list and have been impressed with the level of detail and
the (sometimes confusing) technical comments. before I begin
posting observation data can someone give me guidance on the
FORMAT which should be employed in reporting ie
A-Should I use "IOD" format when compiling a report-this seems
complex but logical if everyone uses same format.(further detail
required ie what does each group of figures represent)
B-If not can I find an "idiots guide" to aid me in compiling
observation data.
I do not want to start posting data which is useless and annoying-
thanks for you patience
