The observation took place 14 nights with Sidereal Stare Mode (SSM) in which the moving object will show during the streak detection. The star identification for image calibration is based on a star catalogue. The streak detection of the satellite used matched filter and the extraction of celestial coordinates of the satellite as predicted position.
