Satellite "DAICHI" (ALOS)

Hi

I was taking a widefiled shot tonight by laying my DSLR camera flat on its back for a 60sec exposure at ISO400, F3.5.

To my surprise, I caught the Advanced Land Observing Satellite "DAICHI" (ALOS), which apparantly is a satellite developed to contribute to the fields of mapping, precise regional land coverage observation, disaster monitoring, and resource surveying.

See attached photo and flightpath from stellarium below.

I also noticed a second satellite low down in the photo, but I am not sure what this one is, as its not on stellarium.

Regards

Neil

pretty cool i got one in a shot the other night

Thanks, I managed to get rid of some of the LP by reducing the ISO.
