Hi,

a Hobby-Astronom at
http://www.astrotreff.de/topic.asp?T...4&whichpage=1# (sorry
its a German-Site)
is searching for detailed Images of the Lacrosse Satellites.

If anyone has some good pictures of those we would be glad to see them.

The reason why he needs those pictures: He wants to track and
Photograph those Satellites

There aren't any pictures of the Lacrosse/Onyx satellites, at least not
that are available to the public.

If he wants to track the five Lacrosse satellites, he doesn't need to
know what they look like. Heavens-above.com will tell you where to look
for them. During a good pass they're as bright as the second magnitude,
which makes them hard to miss.

He can ask for more information on sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe.
That group isn't quite moribund, and Ted Molczan will answer any
question you have about observing the Lacrosses.

Hi Bill,

Regards
