Finally the skies cleared and I could again observe the Starlink 5-11 objects. Viewing time 3:55 - 3:58 UT, 18 June 2023. 9:55-9:58 PM MDT on 17 June. I used the bowl of the Little Dipper as a position and magnitude reference. Azimuth 7.3 degrees, elevation 52.9 degrees. The objects were approximately magnitude 6.5 and using object 75966 at a range of 415.5 kilometers, phase angle 90 degrees, Skymap yields a standard magnitude of 8.1 Sun azimuth 317.4, elevation -13.9 degrees. Observing location Falcon, CO USA using 7x50 binoculars. _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list https://lists.seesatmail.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Jun 18 2023 - 11:20:05 UTC
