Hi all: Trying to plan for observing some sats like DSP F19 USA 142 (25669) for example. 1) Run Orbitron--find a pass at 30 Apr, 1:37 UT (culminates) 2) Run ObsReduce--for that time -- advance it to an area where there are a number of appulses. Reduce it-- early by -16,449 secs. ~ 4:34 ....gives ~6:11 UT @ AZ 265 El 33 3) Range at that point ~ 25,600 km (Rerun Obitron with 33 d satellite elevation) 4) programs I'm using don't give any magnitude estimates. My question is : Can I estimate the magnitude at that time and position? Thanks in advance Peter Gertson cospar 8039 39.1169 N 76.9489 W 425' ASL **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
