I forgot to mention that if you try using Skysat to predict the NEAR flyby, you should press the M key to reset the maximum distance to a really high value like 99999km before attempting to run a NEAR prediction. If you don't, you may cause Skysat to seemingly lockup, forcing you to abort out with Ctrl-Break. Since Ron Lee asked for a prediction, I'm including it here in case there are other folks in Colorado who might want to look for it. I'm assuming a glint time for Colorado of 1/23 06:27:30 UT (1/22 23:27:30 MST) as taken from Mike McCant's post... Alt=50 Az=287 RA=04h 09m Dec=38:52 Distance=25814km (16040 miles) Non-glint magnitude: 12.09 (using Skysat's default standard mag. of 5.5) If there isn't a glint, don't expect to see it unless you have a sufficiently large telescope and relatively dark skies. The NEAR website said the magnitude could reach 0 for those lucky enough to be on the centerline, but the centerlines may not be where predicted since the precise solar panel alignment isn't known. Let's hope for clear U.S. skies that night. The moon will be below the horizon for everyone, at least. Craig Cholar 3432P@VM1.CC.NPS.NAVY.MIL
