Old draft, finally sent ! : Just as often as appulse, I have used the third option, when the imaginary line between two stars id too long, or the satellite crosses it at a very shallow angle - a distance along a line perpendicular to the two stars. And don't forget the digital camera. I mostly (when the object is not fast AND faint) use the XY option, which can give much greater accuracy than 10x50 binocs. 2013/7/22 Brad Young <allenb_young@yahoo.com> > Hi Rainer,<br/><br/>That's the way I do it.
