This image shows how they appeared at 22:00hrs on 2000 January 21. It was taken with a 30 second integration using my Cookbook CB245 CCD camera attached to a Meade 10 inch LX200 telescope with f/6.3 focal reducer. The telescope drive was switched off, so the stars show as trails, whilst the satellites remain stationary. On 2001 March 30, this time using a Starlight Express MX916 CCD camera and the Meade.
