Very interesting to have two photos of NOSS flares from two different locations only two minutes apart! I've generated the related FPAS reports: >From Germany: TEST,31708,GSC73A,20120811,223445,3s,-,53.90667,11.9175,30,FSPE,-,4m,30s,1,5, D1CCNNN,N,-,-,-,-,-,-, http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Aug-2012/0162.html; >From Finland: TEST,31701,GSC73B,20120811,223623,5s,-,60.24,22.22,20,FSPF,-,k,20s,1,5,D1CCNNN, N,-,-,-,-,-,-, http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Aug-2012/0153.html; Reader and Viewer here (copy and paste all the FPAS lines): http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html Regards, Simone >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: W.H@mburg.org >Data: 14-ago-2012 0.19 >A: <seesat-l@satobs.org> >Ogg: Re: What are these satellites? > >Moin moin, > >I captured this sat pair also some minutes earlier in NE-Germany: >GPSLatitudeRef - N >GPSLatitude - 53 54.40 0 (53.906667) >GPSLongitudeRef - E >GPSLongitude - 11 55.05 0 (11.917500) >GPSAltitudeRef - Sea level >GPSAltitude - 30 m > >I took a series of 40s exposure pictures and between >22:32:25UT and 22:36:05UT in five pictures the sat pair was visible. >Today the difference between the camera time and the GPS time stamp >was -2s.
