Hello, By 'book-ending' the date in question, with TLEs roughly 100 days either side (the closest I could find)... NOSS 2-1 made a pass right around 19:00 UTC. The pass would have been something like this edited Satellite Hunting post-diction (give or take about 5 minutes, or so, due to the differing epochs). U.T.C. Elev. Azimuth Mag Right Ascension Declination 18:56:16 0° 311° [NW] 8.9 13h 26m 34s 23° 30' 48.00" 19:06:09 64° 037° [NE] 6.5 00h 52m 16s 67° 52' 16.17" 19:07:45 52° 086° [E] 6.7 01h 29m 56s 40° 46' 48.42" In astro terms, the Noss 2-1 trio would have passed near Alkaid in the tail of Ursa Major, on its way toward Kochab, along the rim of the bowl of the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) and on through Cassiopeia, before entering shadow in Andromeda. -- Stephen Home Page: stephmon.com Satellite Hunting: sathunt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frits Westra" <fwestra@hetnet.nl> To: <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 07:52 AM Subject: Request info on NOSS pass in 1997 > Hello all, > > I'd be pleased if someone could check whether there has been a > pass of a NOSS trio visible from Amsterdam, Holland (N52.20 E04.50), > on Oct 28, 1997, at around 19:00 UTC ? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
