Observations 01 AUG 2011
-------------------------------------
Cosatrak 1 (Computerised satellite Tracking System).
Camera mount now carries two systems that can be operated
together as two totally different sytems and computers used.
Generally the DSI Pro II camera will be used for high altitude
slow moving objects. Tests seem to indicate that its sensitivity
is comparable to the MINTRON ( possibly better) but as its not
possible (?) to time stamp to better than 1 second accuracy the
time resolution is not good enough for LEO objects.
(1) MINTRON low light level CCD surveillance camera (0.005
lux typical in non integration mode) and 0.00005 lux in STARLIGHT
mode with 128 frame integration.)
Used with 135mm focal length f/2.5 lens,integrating for 128 fields
which is equivalent to a max exposure of 2.56 seconds maximum
per image, but dependent on sky brightness. Field of view
2.4 x 1.8 degrees.
Individual frames are video time stamped with GPS derived signal.
Images processed and measured manually.
(2)Meade DSI Pro II Monochrome CCD camera without filters.
using integration times of 05 sec min to 30 seconds maximum
depending on brightness of sky in particular area.No image
processing done but dark field applied.
Used with 102mm aperture f/2.56 refractor ,field of view 84 x 63
arc minutes. Can get to magnitude 13 or so in less than 20 seconds
exposure.
Exposure time to nearest second inserted into image FITS header
from PC clock which is checked against GPS signal.
Images processed and automatically reduced using APEX.

Notes:
--------
(1) Another good night so managed to get some of the more difficult
objects.
(2) The observation of Ekran 5 #11890 may be the result of an over-active
imagination - only seen on one image. Looked reasonably positive
and track angle correct but on limit of system.
(3) PAN now parked next to Hellas-Sat-2 . Reasonably sure I have relative
idents correct.
(4) Apart from a few faint objects low in the west "my" portion of the
geo belt is now up to date. DSP-F22 not seen but I suspect not above
my horizon.
Cheers
Greg
