Seven cameras are running.
One isn't set up with focus yet...
A couple are just getting "red" which is due to clouds.
The nice thing about a bunch of cameras. They photograph different parts of the sky that are clear on a partly cloudy night as the clouds move across the sky.
So in an hour, perhaps, the red ones will be getting sats while another part of the sky is obscured by clouds.
Just photographed ID 20691, classified USA 61.
Launched in June, 1990, during the "Peace Dividend" era.
