Obs ML Leiden (Cospar 4353), VISUAL: 28646 05 016A 4353 P 20080201183917060 17 75 1737049+862210 56 S 19460 88 078A 4353 G 20080201184803030 17 75 0159416+430110 26 S * please note remark below regarding 05-016A data -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method: Meade ETX-70 (7cm/F5) @ 14x magnification, stopwatch and Molczan's Obsreduce software. Time ref: DCF-77 radio controlled clock What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Observations through short clearings in the cloud cover. Completely clouded out during the USA 193 and NOSS 3-4 passes in the morning of the 2nd. The Lacrosse 5 (05-016A) point is notably off with regard to elset 08027.73865531: delta T -1.22s and x-track 0.56 degrees. HOWEVER, I cannot rule out I made a mistake in the used reference stars in this case, as the obs was done in a small clearing with clouds running through the FOV almost immediately after the sat passed. 88-078A residuals are fine. Reference time source is a new DCF-77 clock, as my trusted old one "died" last Wednesday. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
