Subject: Help-12,5 days Moon Disk needed to identify a moving object (Geosync Satellite?)

Hi to all,

since i casually tracked an unknown object (almost surely a geosynchronous satellite) while i 

was focusing the Moon using a C8 + orthoscopic  eyepiece projection 6mm  i need a moon 

disk taken on April 29 in order to overlay with precision my videos and eventually to share 

them.

Since my AstroIIDC was set to grab only 300 frames at once (: i had to continuosly restart the 

grabbing losing some seconds of object translation.

The seeing was awful for such magnifying but i think that a good composition could be 

interesting.

I grabbed an experimental  complete mosaic in IR (900nm)  on April 28 (11,5 days old moon) 

but today i realized that ...i trashed the movies because i needed disk room!!!!

I was sure i did the backup but i was wrong (crying...sob sob).

It could be enough the side from Alpi's valley to the near pole.

As alternative it could be enough 12,5 days old moon even if grabbed in different period of 

the year.

I posted an image in the file section with a rough and fast reconstruction of the event.

Anticipated thanks.

Best regards to all

Alberto Mayer
