Hi Gerhard I think the one with the highest inclination is around 144 degrees - unfortunately most of them are faint - 8th magnitude or so -but its a weird feeling when tracking these objects as they rise in the east and move westward. I do remember seeing one of the Israeli satellite rockets naked eye shortly before decay - this was at least 10-12 years ago.. Okay on the images - will see what we can do with them and then get you involved in the high stuff :-)) Cant take any credit as regards the new classified satellite - we wont have optical visibility until the summer months - all I did was a radio track on the rocket whilst the transmitter was still operating.
