Observations 25 Apr 2006:(correction) -------------------------------------------- Cosatrak 1 (Computerised satellite Tracking System). 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 100mm focal length f/2.8 lens,integrating for 96 frames which is equivalent to an exposure of 1.98 seconds per image. Site 0433 : Longitude 18.51294 deg East, Latitude 33.94058 deg S, Elevation 10 metres - situated in Pinelands (Cape Town), South Africa I had a query re my observation of the IMAGE spacecraft and on re-checking my measurements I found that I had measured the wrong end of the star trails resulting in an incorrect position for the time given. The corrected observation is as follows: IMAGE 26113 00 017A 0433 G 20060425194714900 56 15 1449495-384427 39 +115 05 The time given for the previous position was incorrect by 1 minute and should have read 19h46m16.0s UT. Congratulations to Curtis Haase for spotting this! Sorry for this - there were so many star trails it was not immediately obvious which end was which and in my haste I made a mistake.
