I conducted a planar search for USA 129 [24680/96072A] this evening. A strip low on the Northern horizon (20 deg altitude) was monitored between 19:08 to 20:05UT. Every 6 to 8 minutes the Nexstar mount was programmed to slew to a new position to keep the nominal plane centered in the field of view. USA 129 was seen a the end of the window, about 27 minutes late on elements from January 25th. 24680 96 072A 4553 G 20130218200300786 17 25 1728811+604968 37 S 24680 96 072A 4553 G 20130218200305123 17 25 1733198+601345 37 S 24680 96 072A 4553 G 20130218200307682 17 25 1735484+595234 37 S 24680 96 072A 4553 G 20130218200316122 17 25 1742505+584525 37 S 26473 00 047A 4553 G 20130218193506515 17 25 1622102+553222 37 S 26473 00 047A 4553 G 20130218193516527 17 25 1603965+552275 37 S 26473 00 047A 4553 G 20130218193526506 17 25 1545817+550157 37 S ---------------------------------------------------------------- Setup: Watec 902H2 video, 50mm F/1.8, NTP, Nexstar SLT mount IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html COSPAR 4553: 53.3199N, 2.2438W, 86m (WGS84) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Cees _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
