Hello, Having gotten a Watec 902H2 video camera, I am in the process of testing the camera and the recording equipment for obtaining positional measurements. These are the first observations. Still frames are recorded directly onto a computer and NTP synchronized timestamps are added to the frames when they are captured. The positions were obtained through ObsReduce. 23862 96 029D 9999 G 20120511221706217 17 25 2121225+480700 37 S 23862 96 029D 9999 G 20120511221726241 17 25 2122590+453398 37 R 25746 99 028C 9999 G 20120511223914310 17 25 2048535+430948 37 S 05680 71 110C 9999 G 20120511224718339 17 25 2134881+500027 37 I 99999 99 999U 9999 G 20120511224938336 17 25 2115123+445453 37 S 99999 99 999U 9999 G 20120511224931376 17 25 2126971+450468 37 S The identification of 5680/71110C is very tentative, but the direction and angular velocity seemed to match the prediction of the 166 day old elset. The satellite gave a single flash. Both 99999 observations are from a satellite that was seen and did not match anything obvious. My observing position is 53.3199N, 2.24377W, 86m (WGS84).
