subject: Progress M-04M observations june 24. _____________________________________________ Observed last night 2 passes of Progress M-04M between 2 favorable ISS passes. (So there's no way to get some sleep before all high passes are over). First Progress pass was a 68 SSE. This was the brightest pass appearing below mag 2.0. The second one was at 73° N at mag 2.4. I captured this pass with the telescope in fairly steady air. Results later) Had little regret that I didn't choose for the SSE pass as I had overseen that this was the nicest (brightes) one. Captured both ISS passes (80°N and 89 SSW) with telescope as well. Also captured 57° NNE pass of UARS. Even at this moderate altitude, shape with structure of this big sat is easy to capture, as first frame-inspections suggest. (My best images of UARS so far are these from July 2009: http://alpo-j.asahikawa-med.ac.jp/kk09/o090714z.htm Ralf Vandebergh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
