The Feb. 5th\nedition carried a very interesting article on a long-time AMSAT\nsupporter, Greg Roberts, ZS1BI. For those of you who don't know Greg, an\ninteresting Hearsat \"Ask The Expert\" autobiographical (& how-to) article\ncan be found at http://www.hearsat.org/content/ask-expert-greg-roberts.\n\nFor many years Greg was a well-known Variable Star Observer\n<http://books.google.com/books?id=NoHxiPAkptYC&pg=PA367&lpg=PA367&dq=%22greg+roberts%22+SAAO&source=bl&ots=W9Z8CWnl2C&sig=1YIcgl5kNbe3LCN9v6hCtj6_ZY4&hl=en&ei=6dWTSf3rC8e_tgfIhKCgCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=9&ct=result>\naffiliated with the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) in\nCapetown and has been a very active amateur astronomer, well known for\nhis visual tracking of satellites. See here\n<http://www.saao.ac.za/%7Ewgssa/as3/roberts.html> and also here\n<http://www.saao.ac.za/%7Ewgssa/as4/greg.html> to see Greg's very\ninteresting notes about visual observing of satellites. A photo of Greg\ncan be seen here\n<http://www.space.com/php/multimedia/imagedisplay/img_display.php?pic=090204-greg-roberts-02.jpg&cap=Master+satellite+spotter%2C+Greg+Roberts+of+Cape+Town%2C+South+Africa.>.\n\nGreg's most recent visual satellite observing activities are reported on\nSpace.com at\nhttp://www.space.com/businesstechnology/090204-tw-satellite-sleuthing.html.\nBut first, some background -- recent news reports (like this report\n<http://www.satnews.com/cgi-bin/story.cgi?number=252590162>) tell of \nthe DoD's secret satellite DSP-F23 wandering out of control in\nGeostationary orbit . The Feb.5 issue of Space.com tells of Greg's\noptical tracking of DSP-F23 as it flew near the European Astrium-1\nconstellation. Click here to see this spectacular video clip of the\nF23 \"flyby\" produced thru Greg's efforts.\n<http://www.space.com/common/media/video/player.php?videoRef=SP090203_gRoberts&mode=>\n73 de Tom, K3IO\n", "attachments": [] }
