Yesterday around 19:50 UT I observed Kounotori HTV 7 from Leiden, some 1m 38s behind the ISS. The sky was very clear, and HTV 7 was very bright (mag +1 and distinctly orange). At 19:50:18 UT it flared brightly, to mag -1/-2. I captured the flare on photograph and video. Photographs and video can be seen here: https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2018/09/more-images-of-kounotori-htv-7.html This was some 17 hours before berthing to the ISS. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Thu Sep 27 2018 - 11:25:34 UTC
