Obs SatTrackCam Leiden (4352), 10 Oct 2005: 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20051010185521100 17 75 2348394+400920 56 S+020 10 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20051010185531800 17 75 2348254+351780 56 S+020 10 26473 00 047A 4352 F 20051010185606100 17 75 2348331+214600 56 E+025 10 Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software. Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field f2.8/7.41 mm. What these numbers mean: http://www.satellite.eu.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- A fine clear sky again at last. Obtained two images on Lacrosse 4 (00-047A, 26473), one as it sailed across Andromeda at about +2.0, the other while it was entering eclipse in Pegasus (hence only the start of the track was measured for the latter image). The first image yielded a splendid well-defined trail. In all, 3 positions. The 3rd point is perhaps less good as the 1st and 2nd, as the trail already was becoming faint due to eclipse entry. The delta T's are quite consistent internally: the satellite was 1.5 seconds late relative to Mike's 10 day old elset 05273.79219807. - Marco :-) ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4352 Leiden, the Netherlands, 52.15894 N, 4.48883 E (WGS84), +5 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
