Hi all,
Searching for  ASTRA F ( a Norad mistake) , I  got the following  obs. :
   22h 37m 32.5s ,  DEC 29 =


  90063A   07 43.68  -0647.61   ( Accuracy of both coordinates : +/- 12 a=
rc
sec )  =

  94002A   07 44.93  -0649.05
  95063A   07 45.70  -0644.94

  EQUINOX   is   1950  , and the predictions   ( using SATSPY ) were :
                                                             elset  age
  90063A   07 43.60  -0646.6         1.07 day
  94002A   07 44.90  -0646.5         0.18
  95063A   07 45.55  -0646.5          -.24
   Unfortunately Satspy declination output is  limited to  +/- .05 deg ..=
=2E
   Mean deviation for  RA is .022 deg  (better than expected)
   Norad's   (ASTRA F ) not seen  , or fainter than  mag +12

  Dan                                                                    =
  =

                                          =

                                      .
   =

                                =
