Aeromoe's Version of Joe Orman's Naked-Eye 100 List
Number 94: Artificial Satellites


Below is a list of satellites I've seen since beginning this list. Some are chance sightings I later confirm, others I specifically set out to watch for, and stragglers that I could positively identify with online resources. At first, I also included my Iridium flares and International Space Station sightings on this page but I chose to consolidate those on their own pages.

Despite the fact this page is dedicated to naked-eye observations, I include satellites I've observed with binoculars or telescope. The first entry in this category is the Hubble Space Telescope observed on February 3rd, 2011. For these observations I have reversed the colors of the table data. Table rows in gold indicate satellites I unknowingly photographed and later confirmed their identity.

For most of the satellites, the Altitude / Azimuth / Distance entries are the "maximum altitude" prediction. Many times I'll have observed the satellite prior to or after this point in the sky, but to keep it simple I just use the maximum data.

Prediction data courtesy Heavens Above, and Cal Sky.
Magnitude and Altitude / Azimuth shown are data as predicted for my specific location at the time.
Arizona is on MST all year because Daylight Savings Time is not observed.

Here is a link to the Earth Orbiting Satellite Observer's Club tutorial page: EOSOC

Please scroll down past the table to see a few photos of satellites, and the ISS passing over my viewing locations.

Beginning with 2012 I've decided to enter the data in a spreadsheet and post the spreadsheet as an HTML file. The volume of data is much easier to compile this way.

Table of Satellite Spottings
(except ISS and Iridium Flares)






The image above from the Heavens Above Website shows the orbit re-boost that took place during the past day or two. This accounts for the minor timing discrepancies I noted during observations on the 12/13 June 2011.


Below is one of my photos of an Iridium Flare, caused when an Iridium satellite reflects sunlight off one of its highly-reflective panels.
This particular magnitude -7 flare was caused by Iridium Satellite #25 at 7:06pm December 1st, 2010. Direction of travel was south.
Approximate elevation of 29° at an azimuth of 168°.
These satellite flares are very predictable and fun to watch for. Check out the Heavens Above and Cal Sky websites for predictions for your area.


Below is a screenshot of the Heavens Above webpage showing details about the flares visible during that 24hr period.


From my vantage, the International Space Station passed southwest to northeast (R-to-L) near the Hyades and below the Pleaides on the morning of August 3rd, 2010.
This photo has been converted to grayscale so all star colors have been rendered as white.


In the image below you can see the faint trails of two satellites.


The ISS made a nice morning twilight flyby on September 29, 2010. The 12-second exposure below shows the space station near Orion, with the waning gibbous moon, Aldebaran and the Hyades cluster visible as well.


The ISS made a nice morning twilight flyby on October 2, 2010. The 24-second exposure below shows the space station moving from southwest to northeast. Cassiopiea is out of frame to the upper left.
