No need to be skeptical. At the last Eurosom, using Rob Matson's Iridflar, I had made predictions of a -8 flare at 3 pm. The group took a break from the meeting at that time and went out to look for it. Bjoern and I took video of it. He replayed his that afternoon allowing us to relive the moment. I believe Paul had also made some predictions. That was the first daytime flare Rob had seen. I enjoyed using his program to make predictions for him. -- Jay Respler -- JRespler@superlink.net SKY VIEWS: http://mars.superlink.net/jrespler/skyviews.htm Satellite Tracker * Early Typewriter Collector Freehold, New Jersey ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
