The first clear evening for weeks and I was hoping to catch the Astra geosats ( 19 degs east ) going into shadow. However , after filming them for 55 minutes , and with just 40 minutes to go to shadow entry , the good old coastal cloud swept in....and it started to rain ;o( http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/Astras.wmv ( <600kb) shows the seven satellites over a period of 55 minutes.The change in magnitude is noticeable with the most southerly bird increasing to about mag 8.
