    Welcome to SeeSat-L, Connor.
    
    What are some of the objects have you observed?
    
    Do you use binoculars; if so, what is their magnification and aperture?
    
    Besides Heavens-Above, do you use any PC-based prediction software? If so, which
    program?

    Some of the most popular satellites to observe are the NOSS (Naval Ocean
    Surveillance System). You can learn about them here:
    
    http://www.satobs.org/noss.html
    
    Note that the above page provides catalogue numbers, which you can use to
    request predictions from Heavens-Above.
    
    Here is a page on the Lacrosse satellites, including their catalogue numbers:
