THE SECRET SPIES IN THE SKY - Imagery, Data Analysis, and Discussions relating to Military Space
SatTrackCam Leiden (Cospar 4353) is a satellite tracking station located at Leiden, the Netherlands. The tracking focus is on classified objects - i.e. "spy satellites". With a camera, accurate positional measurements on satellites of interest are obtained in order to determine their orbits. Orbital behaviour is analysed.

OT: night-sky time lapse, Dolomites
The movie above, which you should see on full resolution rather than in the small embedded version above, is a time-lapse I made using images shot during my holidays in the Dolomites.
The movie starts with imagery shot from Aldein (Aldino) at 1188m over a 4h42m period on July16. Apart from stars and at about 20s in the movie the Milky Way entering the FOV, a number of satellites (and aircraft) are visible.
The movie ends with a (too) short clip of stars circling the celestial pole, based on a 25 minute image series shot from Vajolet at 2238m, in the Dolomites properly, on 23 July.
All images were made using the Canon EOS 60D + Tamron 2.8/17-50mm at 17mm, 2000 ISO, 30-second exposures.
