The bright object at 06:14:15 is just a bright star in the background. There was no interaction with the satellite.

LUCH (Olymp) has started to tumble in its graveyard orbit tonight. Additional objects around the satellite can also be visually detected. An analysis of our photometric data is currently in progress.

SJ-25/SJ-21 from 2025-12-22 15:15:14 UTC. After another day of bad weather, we can optically separate them again since this afternoon.

SJ-25/SJ-21 ? from today 12:53:18 UTC. After the observed possible start of a new approximation of the two satellites on December 17, the weather was bad for two days. Slightly better conditions today allowed new observations. So, a new puzzling and search campaign has started.

ISS and the undocked Soyuz MS-27, recorded on 2025-12-09 02:27:13 UTC over South America, during a low elevation pass (4 deg elevation). We wish for a successful mission completion and a safe return to Earth.

Bad weather delayed the obs, but here they are: SJ-25 and SJ-21A on 2025-11-29, 13:37:43 UTC

I don't have the mission details at hand. But maybe @planet4589.bsky.social has a better insight here.

A short animation of tonight's pass of Transporter-15 from 2025-11-29 03:25:32 UTC (horizon) to 2025-11-29 03:27:05 UTC (entry into Earth's shadow), seen from South America.

We took this week another look at the object we suspect to be 65589. The object still appears to be rotating, and the photometry shows a pattern comparable to the measurement taken on September 14, 2025.

And something slightly OT. C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) during a tracking pause last night. 50 frames stacked and a single frame, from a bit earlier in the evening, to visualize the three fragments a little more clearly.

Finally, observation conditions are improving. New Glenn GS2 (2025-260C) from this morning, 2025-11-17 08:08:18 UTC, with a rotation period of approximately 309 seconds.

A short light curve of the object catalogued as 2025-239A. Recorded yesterday, 2025-10-24 between 17:56:54 and 18:09:59 UTC. Looks like the upper stage and not the payload.
