G'day All, After several stuffed attempts, I finally have a second observation. USA129 6 Dec 2000 11h 48m 07.5s UT RA 03h 50.9m Dec -64d 03' J2000.0 magnitude +5.5 Having just joined the list, I will take the opportunity to introduce myself. I'm a 27-year-old aeronautical engineer living in Brisbane, Australia. I started observing satellites about 6 months ago after discovering Heavens-Above and reading about Iridium flares. Ever since, I've been chasing unusual or old satellites, but I still try never to miss a -8 flare. Half the neighbourhood has seen Iridium flares now! I've had a lot of fun observing satellites so I'm now trying to help by making my own position measurements. It certainly takes quite a bit of effort at first but I'm getting better at it. If Santa Claus delivers new binoculars I'll be set. Cheers Jim COSPAR site # 9127 Lat 27.591S Long 153.050E Alt 19 m ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
