NOTES:
-----------
(1) Fair evening, transparency could have been better,some problems with
wind shake.
(2) Mainly used the COGO#14 elements to try and located objects not seen
in recent months with fair success.
(3) ADVANCED ORION #3 #27937 should be an easy object with standard
magnitude +8.5 but not found so looks like it has moved since epoch
of COGO 14 elements ( Jan 01, 2012). Could be anywhere ?
(4) MITex 2 #29241 not seen despite going to exposures of 40 seconds and
tracking on predictions. However poor phase angle so this combined
with its standard magnitude of +15.70 makes it one of the more
difficult targets.
(5) Most of the other objects visible from my location that need
observing are either too low in my east or western sky
(6) Intelsat 3F7 #04376 is very elusive and Ekran 5 #11890 even more so.
Ekran 5 was predicted to be close to Ekran 3 - but not seen whilst
Ekran 3 was easy. There is something odd about Ekran 5 -the COGO
elements are somewhat different from the last amateur elements but
Ekran 3 is a dead satellite so what is going on?
Cheers
Greg
