Hi, I am new to seesat, but have been a sky watcher for years now. Could someone please tell me, where I could find a reference guide to the element data format that you guys use? Also what windows or dos software is good for creating the sighting predictions? I generally don't hunt for satellites with binoculars, but I get the impression that satellites tend to come over in groups - I often see several (often with similar courses) in a short period of time, then none for a period of time, followed again by another several sightings. Is it true that satellites are distributed in this way around the earth, or are they evenly spread out with as many different orbital paths?
