Hello all; Yesterday night José Luis Ruiz passed me a photograph that could be OTV-4, last seen 43 days ago. He tried to capture it several times those two last weeks. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105687052/OTV%204%20Jose%20luis/20150924_213226-5min%20aprox_OTV4_SAM_2554_Filter.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105687052/OTV%204%20Jose%20luis/20150924_213226-5min%20aprox_OTV4_SAM_2554_Filter_Explain.jpg Nothing is there at predicted time, 2015/09/24 at 19:26:30 UTC. The coordinates are 36.8392, -2.4499, 31 meters a.s.l. 40561 15 025A 9999 G 20150924192630000 39 15 1842431+371355 38 S 40561 15 025A 9999 G 20150924192646000 39 15 2014256+404018 38 S Time exposure is 16 seconds, and time accuracy is +- 30 seconds. Cross-track errors may be pretty high cause I've did not make any astrometry. Fitting a circular orbit with both obs I get a very similar orbit than OTV-4, so most probably José found the object.
