Hi All

I've been able to site satellites for a number of years but never been
able to identify them (didn't worry about it either).  Recently I've
increased my interest in this hobby and would like to know what I've
seen.  What information should I write down during a visual to increase
my chances of identifying the object (or getting help identifying it)?  I
am not too technical on this neat hobby but I can learn.  I do have 7x50
binoculars and a 8" S-Cass.  If I only knew when and where in the sky
they will be would really be enjoyable.  I've read some e-mail describing
the siting of Shuttle and Mir docking.  Incredible!  How is that done? 
Sure, I'm naive about this stuff but pleeeeeease help!!
