Hi all, As mentioned earlier, used the Canon EOS 450D with EF 2.5/50mm lens on March 3 and 4 to capture flaring geosats. Below some results for March 3. As this lens normally only captures the Mentor's, all of the objects below can be said to have been brighter than usual. - Marco Objects captured on one single 24 x 18 degree image of March 3, 21:17:32.30 - 21:17:42.35 UTC: 26369 00 028A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 1038379-072650 56 36101 09 065A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 1037538-072720 56 36745 10 032B 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 1014276-073130 56 26719 01 011A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 1005365-073060 56 26638 00 081A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 1004065-074180 56 36592 10 025A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0954384-073510 56 25495 98 057A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0952324-073440 56 28899 05 044A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0950478-072040 56 25153 98 006B 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0949072-071880 56 36581 10 021A 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0943583-073800 56 27400 02 015B 4353 G 20110303211732300 17 75 0943322-074590 56 These are resp.: Eutelsat W4 - vb Eutelsat W7 - b Arabsat 5A - f Eurobird - f Astra 2D - f Badr-5 - f Eurobird 2 - b Inmarsat 4-F2 - f Inmarsat 3-F5 - b Astra 3B - f Astra 3A - f f = faint b = bright vb = very bright Objects captured on one single 24 x 18 degree image of March 3, 23:49:42.30 - 23:49:52.35 UTC: 33750 09 008B 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1000559-073540 56 36830 10 037A 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1002038-074300 56 29273 06 033B 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1010106-073710 56 27460 02 035A 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1011026-073670 56 36033 09 058B 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1029211-074040 56 32487 08 006A 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 1029523-074240 56 26927 01 042A 4353 G 20110303234942300 17 75 0957110-073750 56 these are resp.: Atlantic Bird 4A - f Nilesat 201 - b Syracuse 3B - b Atlantic Bird 3 - b Thor 6 - vb Thor 5 - b Atlantic Bird 1 - f f = faint b = bright vb = very bright Results of March 4 will follow later, probably after next week as I am very busy preparing a series of classes I have to give next week, and the current series of ISS - Shuttle passes is taking time too. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl 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 SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
