Hi all, Observed ATV-4 pass twice from Leiden (the Netherlands) this night, at 23:47 UT and 1:20 UT. Captured it visually, photographically and on video. The 23:47 UT pass was a zenith pass for me. During both passes it was bright (mag +1 during the 23:47 pass, mag +0.5 during the 01:20 morning twilight pass) and a very easy naked eye object. During the 23:47 pass a second, much fainter object preceded the ATV by a few seconds: most likely this was the Ariane upper stage from the launch. I captured both objects on photo and video. Photo's and video will follow later - I need some sleep now. - 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
