Hi Everyone, Thanks for all your help on the telescope eyepieces and books on observing. My XT10" Dob arrived on Thursday, but the base was misrouted by UPS, and was shipped out to Kansas after making it all the way to Chicago (about 10 miles from me). It is rescheduled for delivery on Monday. With your help and the advice from people on sci.astro.amateur, I decide I am going to get the Celestron Ultima 30 eyepiece, and maybe also the 12.5mm version. The 30 will give me a 1.3 degree FOV in my scope, which fits the bill for sat tracking. Thanks to a tip from Bob King, I found a copy of _Observing Earth Satellites_, and I'm also going to get the book _Fundamentals of Astrodynamics_, which is still in print. Both of these are about ten bucks, so I think I'm getting a darn good deal. Thanks to everyone here who offered suggestions, they were a ton of help!
