Jeff MoeRare somewhat clear night, tonight.
I have six of my cameras up, pointed at the sky, tracking satellites.
Starting with 7,843 unique satellites in the photo archive, sorted by NORAD ID:
Getting lots of classified satellites already, IDs:
21808, 23862, 26907, 35937
Ended the night with 7,902 unique satellites in the archive--fifty-nine new satellites photographed last night. Archive sorted by ID:
There were 30 classified satellites photographed. Details about their location and orbits (IOD) were uploaded to the seesat mailing list:
@cgbassa did some analysis of the data with his sattools software; he is also the author of stvid, which was used to acquire and process the images.
The picture is a plot of the data. The night sky is plotted what it looks like from my location at 05:14 UTC (late night local).
The yellow plots show what satellites are in the sky at that moment, with ID.
Red are photos I took.
White are stars; blue lines constellations.
