Hi Had a spell of cloudy weather as well as problems swopping computers around. Herewith lasts nights observations - air very turbulent and windy. Second pass clouded out. Data in IOD format: 24680 96 072A 0433 F 20001209193259250 27 25 0744230-261620 56 S+069 03 24680 96 072A 0433 F 20001209193307570 27 25 0740480-250770 56 S+069 03 24680 96 072A 0433 F 20001209193315990 27 25 0736480-235650 56 S+069 03 Okean-O rocket made a pass a very seconds earlier just below USA129 and was very much brighter than USA by about 3-4 magnitudes. Neither satellite was variable although Okean-O rocket faded at the end of the video frame and suspect this was shadow entry. Cheers - tonight looks like a repeat of last night but still 8 hours of so to go...
