Hi Alexander, I observed geostationary USA 237 the same night as you, on 16 sept 2012, UTC 18h45 to 18h50. I took (8-sec duration) 19 photos, all showing USA 237 much brighter than 6 nearby geostationaries : 2003-53 A Yamal 202 2012-16 A Yahsat 1B 2005-41 B Syracuse 3A 1996-35 A Intelsat 709 1999-05 A Telstar 6 1997-53 A NSS 5 Intelsat USA 237 was flaring-like and steady in brightness. It was a little off from the position indicated by Calsky. On my photos there was also the slowly moving satellite 1995-49B Telstar 402 RRk. Regards Alain Figer 44.57°N 6.68°E 1850m a.s.l.

Hi all! Morning of September 17 at 02:12 UTC I saw USA 238. The passes has been good for my location. Unfortunately accurate observations of these satellites has not been done. I can say that the satellites are well observed, the brightness was roughly about 4m. ATLAS CENTAUR R/B I have not seen. I also saw USA 237 hours of 17 September, 02:05 UTC with a small telescope with a magnification of 30x. I saw this satellite difficult because its brightness was roughly about 9m. Regards, Alexander Repnoy, Alexandria (Ukraine), 48.6657N 33.1137E 101m. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
