SuitSat1 passing by the Clock - Horologium
First good sunlit night pass since SuitSat was released. However it was fainter than predicted. Still the thought of being able to spot a tumbling Space Suit at ~ 360Km away is marvellous.

Hey so are those photos at 1X ?? If so, then it really is amazing.
Hi :
First these are PAL full frame video peak-hold stills.
Not sure it is exactly X1(= naked eye view) but when i check the monitor and look out the window - the magnification of distance objects/buildings look pretty much the same... Of course our eye have wider FOV but this ccd is very very sensitive..

When you do post a skyMap screen, why not include the vertical FOV that is displayed on top, to make it easier for viewers to judge the scale (and stars)?
Hi Bjorn:
good idea - will do that next time
