I just photographed a very bright object passing due North , h: 33° , at 19h01m45s UT with the sun at -3°5, hence it must be the second object seen by Marco. But I didn't image the first one : nothing on my pics 2 minutes earlier. That doesn't mean nothing was happening... Anyway the sky was far from excellent heading in the direction of Paris.

This all in a still bright blue sky with barely a star visisble (Jupiter and Venus were visible)! Both objects were quite bright, in the negative magnitudes, once past the zenith and ascending towards the east. Next pass at 20:34 UT. - Marco" _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed Apr 15 2015 - 14:51:49 UTC
