Seeing conditions not too good here this evening between 2100 and 2230 gmt ,
but just above the haze level I was able to locate the five neatly stacked
Hotbirds at 13 east , which were shining through quite well .
Two further objects were observed at 16 east , one , Eutelsat W2 , the other
most probably Sicral 1

Still having probs with the geosat GoTo positioning , so guiding was done by
hand.

Meade LX90
25 mm eyepiece projection/webcam/ exp 10.5 secs

Regards,

John.
