With slight image enhancement (and clipping) nova.astrometry.net solved the image. Image scale, image with identified stars, and link to fits file available from http://nova.astrometry.net/status/2023277 My reduction from the .fits, using SAOimage DS9 gives RA 09:51:27 Dec -16:47:22 RA 09:56:38 Dec -16:55:35 Some EXIF data from the image: Filename - Leo 20180420 IMG_2244.JPG Model - Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL ExposureTime - 3 seconds FNumber - 5.60 ISOSpeedRatings - 1600 DateTimeDigitized - 2018:04:20 21:41:21 FocalLength - 55 mm ExifImageWidth - 3888 ExifImageHeight - 2592 -------------------------------------------------------- Björn Gimle, COSPAR 5919 59.2617 N, 18.6169 E, 51 m Satellite observation formats described: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html --------------------------------------------------------- 2018-04-21 18:50 GMT+02:00 Tristan Cools via Seesat-l <seesat-l_at_satobs.org>: > Hi all, > > This may be a challenge but maybe somebody can help. > > Yesterday, april 20 2018 I saw a bright satellite travelling from West to > East maybe 30 deg culmination hight. > Location was Bruges, Belgium and time of observation around 19:42 UTC. > > I include a picture here.
