Now, this wasn't awesome for the magnitude or color of it (Polaris magnitude pass, gold color; both as expected due to observations I've made since the solar cell panals were added). It was awesome as it was a pass where there was an occultation of the moon! The ISS passed just by the upper lit part of the crescent moon. Had I known about it beforehand, I would have set up a telescope to view the ISS pass through the field of view. Nevertheless, it was fun to watch it makes its pass around 6:25pm and see how it might make it to the moon and then watch it actually occult the moon as my hopes and wishes came true. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
