Greg Wrote- I had an ulterior motive - I was trying to seduce you into the noble art of tracking classified satellites :-)) Well I just finished going thru a progression of thought that has ended in a workable plan.. I think.. I *WAS* going to setup on a simple to find star in Orion's Sword and record a gazillion GEOs.. This is in my Southeastern sky.. But Scott and Becky.. And Kevin.. Etc can handle those areas.. So instead of wiping up a long line GEOs at my prime declination of -5d 51m, I will just Start near Venus in the West and see how close to the Western Horizon I can get.. Not as easy, as I will have to find each one individually, but I am betting it is going to be far more useful.. I am West and going Westerer... Thata Way >>> People could assist me in being of use in a specific way.. If there is something that needs an observation, or alternatively does need to be hit, feel free to let me know! I can provide a list of objects visible to me if that woud help.. I do not want to duplicate others efforts.. Otherwise I will just hammer everything I can, then start over and repeat.. Of course three days of rain have just started... Derek http://www.poyntsource.com/New/index.htm PS.. In occultations, I am use to +/- Longitudes, so once I figured out that Kevin Fetter was on THIS side of the Atlantic, it was easy to figure out I should go West... PSS.. There is one specific GEO I will be all over, and that is Wildblue-1, which is my Satellite Internet Service... Thanks to that fine list of sats recently posted, I finally know where that darn bird is.. Wildblue has no clue.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
