In my first (and last?) clear midnight in the Perseid period I saw only two, just outside my wide angle (14 mm, 29 mm equiv.) field. But I did get 41634 and NOSS 2-2 (D) as strays, observed three days earlier, and possibly later. Then my eyes caught a bright long-period flasher descending into the NNW. I managed to catch it despite the less efficient wide angle, with two flashes in the first image, and a little lower one single flash in the next. Identified the the flash positions with IDsat to within 0.02 degrees off-track, and from the reported time offset I got the (predicted) flash times, Period 50.6 s, flashes to about -1 / +2.. http://nova.astrometry.net/status/2853468 (Go to Results Page) Last flash recorded in: http://nova.astrometry.net/status/2853470 43674 18 084D 5919 201908092301185 38 15 1324497+765727 39 F 43674 18 084D 5919 201908092302092 38 15 1236541+731851 39 F 43674 18 084D 5919 201908092302598 38 15 1140055+631124 39 F -------------------------------------------------------- Björn Gimle, COSPAR 5919 59.2617 N, 18.6169 E, 51 m Satellite observation formats described: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html --------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Aug 11 2019 - 16:53:26 UTC
