Items seen at Okie-Tex Star Party. Amazing skies, I spent most of my time on DSO, but "snuck" a few satellites in too. No classified objects this night that were not seen "accidentally", so no true positions, but I did happen on USA 170 again and USA 148, which was 0.1 deg south of AMC-10! Eutelsat II first seen flashing this night naked eye, seen the rest of trip, earlier each night. It seems to have speeded up from last PPAS report I find, which was: 90- 79 B 04-12-12 04:08 MM 27.256 PPAS: 08- 47 B 08-09-29 02:11:50 BY 43.2 0.5 7 6.2 A; 3->inv 1X 90- 79 B 08-09-29 05:20:02 BY 503.6 0.5 45 11.19 F; 5->inv Flaring geosats (format described at http://satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2007/0244.html) except, I like Mike's idea of including common name, so I added them: 27875 8338 20080929 0241 W T 000 7 B P USA 170 32768 8338 20080929 0352 W T 000 8 B P STAR ONE C2 32388 8338 20080929 0415 W T 000 10 B P HORIZONS 2 29236 8338 20080929 0548 W T 000 9 B U GALAXY 16 Group of 3 28903 8338 20080929 0549 W T 000 9 B U SPACEWAY 2 Group of 3 32729 8338 20080929 0550 W T 000 9 B U DIRECTV 11 Group of 3 27501 8338 20080929 0630 W T 000 11 B U ECHOSTAR 8 Group of 3 33207 8338 20080929 0631 W T 000 11 B U ECHOSTAR 11 Group of 3 27426 8338 20080929 0631 W T 000 11 B U DIRECTV 5 Group of 3 27854 8338 20080929 0716 W T 000 11 B U TELSTAR 13 32951 8338 20080929 0728 W T 000 11 B U GALAXY 18 27954 8338 20080929 0743 W T 000 11 B U GALAXY 13 / HORIZONS-1 25086 8338 20080929 0754 W T 000 11 B U GALAXY 8 28252 8338 20080929 0759 W T 000 11 B U AMC-11 25585 8338 20080929 0803 W T 000 11 B U PAS 6B 28884 8338 20080929 0810 W T 000 11 B U GALAXY 15 Shadow Entry 28154 8338 20080929 0815 W T 000 10 B P AMC-10 26052 8338 20080929 0815 W T 000 11 B U USA 148 Nice Surprise!
