Hot off the press , filmed just under an hour ago , geosats (5) Hotbirds 13 degs east going into shadow 1mb file.....should load up in windows media player. Suggest using the sliders to reduce brightness slightly to get the full effect of the flare from one of the sats (unidentified at this stage) http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/Movie.wmv 33 frames of 30 second exposure.FOV 30 arc minutes with time stamp. (I had intended imaging the seven Astras at 19 east going into shadow.However Astra 1b is now so far away from the main group its not possible to get all birds into a 30 arc minute frame....so had to settle for the Hotbirds instead ! ) Regards, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
