In the images, for each one the telescope has moved slightly from the last one. Here's a spectacular set of six successive images (that might make a very nice animated gif, with the satellites as well as the trailed stars changing positions due to the changing focus with 66-second one-chop time exposures). The first two show a single bright object. The third one shows two more. The fourth one shows five of them! Image five shows four, and the sixth one is back to only one, as the telescope has moved its focus on. 2001 Oct 02, 15:12:12 UT, 110.700 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-253.jpg 2001 Oct 02, 15:13:18 UT, 110.425 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-254.jpg 2001 Oct 02, 15:14:24 UT, 110.150 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-255.jpg 2001 Oct 02, 15:15:30 UT, 109.875 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-256.jpg 2001 Oct 02, 15:16:36 UT, 109.600 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-257.jpg 2001 Oct 02, 15:17:42 UT, 109.325 deg.E http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-258.jpg This image, 2001 Oct 02, 11:37:42 UT, 164.325 deg.E, has a prominent north-south streak -- http://www2.nict.go.jp/ka/control/geosurvey/jpg/20011002a350deg/20011002-058.jpg I have a bad feeling that all of those URLs will be broken.
