(587), Sonoita, Arizona, USA, 31.6656 N, 110.6020 W, 1516 m + Astrometrica software. What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- New (for satellites, I used it before for asteroids) "remote" telescope. Smaller instrument, but larger FOV, and cheaper to rent. Tried (again in vain) to image SDS 3-2 but nothing on images, suggesting it is off from predictions. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
