One of the best examples of which I'm aware of photography of geosats (not necessarily flaring, and including some with non- zero inclinations) is by Bill Livingston, a solar scientist with the National Solar Observatory of Tucson, Arizona, USA. See the article, "Satellites Spanning the Sky": http://www.noao.edu/outreach/press/pr01/pr0106.html Note that his exposures are five to six *hours* long, with a solidly mounted camera simply pointed due south and at the proper declination. More details are presented in the article. Don't miss the full-width image of more than 20 satellites: http://www.noao.edu/outreach/press/pr01/0106images.html A very good example of flaring geosats is on the StarDial Web site, which includes small MPEG files of eclipse ingress and egress of a group of four or five satellites: http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/stardial/satellites.html For more information see the Visual Satellite Observers Home Page, Geosats page: http://www.satobs.org/geosats.html Ed Cannon - ecannon@mail.utexas.edu - Austin, Texas, USA ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
