I was just pondering the other day how neat it would be to be able to calculate a moon or sun transit and look at it though my telescope (with solar filter for sun or without for moon). My main goal is to view a ISS transit of the sun or moon as it should be large enough to see in a telescope (and I take it most objects are too small to see in a transit even with a telescope). I opened up my STS PLUS and figured it would be a trial and error thing (take any pass seen here and figure out if the sun or moon would be in the way). Since trial and error figuring could take forever to even find that rare opportunity, I was wondering if there is a freeware or shareware program that can calculate sun/moon transits. Thanks. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- de fcc sgn, Robert Smathers (roberts@nmia.com) Albuquerque, NM USA Robert's Satellite TV/Baseball page: http://www.nmia.com/~roberts/ Proud owner, 5 TODYWEN(!) and 7 BUD-lites - Albuquerque Intl.
