Just for completeness... Ted wrote earlier today.. ***** Agreed, but since the orbit is very stable, and the elements are nearly contemporaneous with your observation, I expect time agreement to within a small fraction of 1 s, so something appears to be amiss. To help resolve the matter, I recommend that a few additional observations be made by yourself and other positional observers. If all observers find it ~2 s late, then the elements are at fault; if only your obs are late, then your timing is at fault. In either case, we will learn something new. Ted Molczan ***** I used the same camera and GPS Time Inserter, just a different scope and FOV. This has provided excellent data previously. Ted, Greg, and (I think) Marco found nothing of importance wrong with the position, only the time being ~2s off. (Like I wrote in a previous thread somewhere.. "Yeah it's off!.. It's off of video!" ) So it is requested, if you are looking for something that has a reason to be observed, please observe #1359 and see what you get. Please.. I have rain for the next two days..
