Connection timeout for me at least... -----Original Message----- From: seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org [mailto:seesat-l-bounces+paulgrace=lookoutranch.com@satobs.org] On Behalf Of Thierry Legault Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 15:39 To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: Video of secret satellites: X-37B, USA186 (Keyhole), Lacrosse3 hello here is a page with detailed videos of passes over France of X-37B, USA-186 (Keyhole 13) and Lacrosse-3: http://legault.perso.sfr.fr/spy_satellites.html Main structures of Lacrosse-3 and USA-186 are recognizable according to reference images, for X-37B it's more difficult to understand the orientation of the ship, considering its complex shape: any help is welcome! There is a dot that looks separated from the main body: is it the solar panel or an equipment extracted from the payload bay? Three flares for four videos, it seems that flares are very common (or I have been specially lucky! :-)) Additional data (locations and times) are available here: http://legault.perso.sfr.fr/spy_satellites_data.html Raw files are also available on request: as for STS-134, volume is huge. Processing is similar to STS-134, with combination of 20 consecutive raw frames for each frame of the final video (no selection) and unsharp mask. Exposure time is 2 ms for all passages, camera is Skynyx L2-2, telescope is Meade ACF 10" (FL 5500mm). Scale (1 arcsec) is indicated on the images. regards Thierry Legault www.astrophoto.fr _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
