We've had some sunny days lately, but yesterday was the first good evening since the XSS- SBSS-AEHF-FIA search elsets appeared (thanks, Ted!). However, it clouded out before I could make any useful observatioen (I did SEE Larosse 2). Tonight was slightly better - I found SBSS 1 rk apparantly on time. Then, with just three SBSS alternative elsets at 630 km altitude, spanning 78 minutes, I started a rather futile manual search. An object appeared at about 20:27 above alpha UMa, roughly consistent with SBSS raised at about midnight UTC, but even more consistent with 01-56F #27006 Zenith-2 rocket, but clouds again ruined more positions, and confirmation of shadow entry. On top of that my stopwatch ran berserk before I could read it, and reset itself to 2000- 01-01 00:00:00.... ! -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
