I'm still following this with the GRAS scope G14, but was pleased to have another image returned from the Bradford Robotic Telescope.
6-April-2010 02:48:12 UTC
Centered on RA 14:11:51.00 Dec -06:12:25.00
R, G, B 180000 ms (3 min) each



The faint line across the top of the image (right to left), green-blue-red, I believe to be a geosynchronous satellite. I don't have one in my database that fits with the observation time, but there are several that pass through [i]along that line[/i]. These include:
Thor 6
EUTELSAT W7
INTELSAT 14 (IS-14)
INTELSAT 16 (IS-16)
DIRECTV 12
ECHOSTAR 1
NSS-12
COMSATBW-1
RADUGA-1M 2
INTELSAT 15 (IS-15)


I suspect that it may be INTELSAT 14, but I have that passing over 45 minutes later. I shall look into this a bit more...
