A bright satellite was then observed for which I cannot find a match and I strongly suspect that the object now called #91038 is in fact a second observation of #91037 as the inclination and RA of Node are very similar. #91038 was about magnitude +4 and had some slight slow variability in the short period observed. The standard magnitude works out at about 4.4, inclination about 63 degrees, RA Node ~ 29 degrees so probably highly elliptical orbit with e = 0.7? For our orbit analysts I repeat the observations of #91037 again. (2) I have about a dozen strays still to report but will do when I have finished studying the DVD recordings of 28th and 31st July 2005 Cheers Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
