(2) PAN was found by Ian Roberts but there is some uncertainty which satellite is which as there are three in a tight cluster- PAN (#35815), YAHSAT 1A (#37393) and SKYNET 5B (#32294). I measured manually, as well as using APEX, and there is a bit of a mess-up as APEX and I dont agree which is which so for the moment all that can be said is that PAN is parked next to YAHSAT 1A. (3) More to come tomorrow. Cheers Greg _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
