In the excitement of catching four objects I missed the 5th object, as well as a much fainter 6th object. The 5th object [99571/20712E] was equally bright and steady as the other 4, while the 6th object [99572/20712F] as much fainter (~8th magnitude). The 5th object has a similar orbit as the previous 4, while 99572/20712F appears to have an inclination of a degree higher. Perhaps this is debris that was ejected during separation? Based on the similar brightness of objects A, B, C, D and E, it is unclear which are the payloads and which is the upper stage. 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220716180 17 25 1930579+445419 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220718340 17 25 1939073+451518 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220720687 17 25 1948429+453527 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220722667 17 25 1956280+454975 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220725233 17 25 2006519+460538 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220727946 17 25 2017318+461808 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220730431 17 25 2027236+462628 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220732680 17 25 2036169+463084 37 S 99571 20 712E 4171 G 20200730220734025 17 25 2041525+463224 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220831647 17 25 1935577+431129 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220833095 17 25 1940992+432981 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220835293 17 25 1949263+435582 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220838248 17 25 2000499+442703 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220841889 17 25 2014425+445919 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220845196 17 25 2027321+452288 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220847496 17 25 2036199+453575 37 S 99572 20 712F 4171 G 20200730220849234 17 25 2042911+454375 37 S ------------------------------------------------------------------ Setup: ASI1600MM Pro CMOS, 85mm F/1.4, NexStar mount, NTP timing IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ Regards, Cees _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Thu Jul 30 2020 - 17:42:10 UTC
