Hi all, Just observed a low (max 28 degrees elevation) pass of the ISS and the Orbital-1 Cygnus close together. Orbital-1 Cygnus was faint and for a considerable part of the pass I couldn't see it naked eye from my town location. It however briefly flared to mag +1.5 near 05:57:05 UT, already low in the SE and the pair was then readily visible for a short while. I estimate (have not measured yet) that the two were about 8 seconds apart in time, with ISS leading. Image will follow later. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
