A week ago I had found a unid that turned out to be Sarah 2. I had been trying to see it again the past week, but failed. Thanks Tomi, for also trying! I was a bit surprised I didn't catch it again, and reasoned that it should be a bit off and that it probably passed just besides the camera. Last night I did my first ever plane scan. I used Sattools, to determine where to aim. Luckily I aimed along the apex of Starlink sats, which give many nice measurements points in Sattools that confirmed my manual pointing. I was sitting in the dark garden, changing the elevation of the tripod mounted camera every few minutes and quickly restarting the processing of STVID. I started half an hour early, and finally I got a unid running 9 minutes late. Using Satfit I could quickly confirm, that I found Sarah 2 again! A few minutes later it got cloudy. Now the big question that remains is, what and where is the second object of this launch? Why does space-track have the names of Sarah-1 [52887 22063A] and the to-be-found Sarah-3 [58644 23204B] swapped?
