Hello all,

 I've got close to 30 unk's in the past 2 months of observing and have
solved most of them. The ones I have problems with are usually W to E or
E to W trajectorys in the South like the two below and
the flasher I posted on the 8th.  Is there a software package that one
can input RA & DEC and time of two postions then set an error factor and
match a database, (like an alldat.tle)? If not I'll write one.

UNK26 110430  070811-262855 4.0  inv s    error 1 d
 Note: Under/at Alpha Hydra to delta CMa. Vis naked Eye at start then
dimmed to invisible after
delta CMa. Traj. E to W.  Thought it might be Mir, until it dimmed out.

 Any comments would be helpful.

Best Wishes

Jim
