Absolutely fantastic!! It can't really be described. It is something you just have to experience. If you haven't seen one yet, the next is 8/99 in Europe. When the ship stopped at Curacao, I met Paul Maley on the pier for a few minutes. He said HST would be in the area Thursday morning. HST is not naked eye from New Jersey, but thanks to Paul's prediction, I was able to easily see HST go overhead from the top deck of the ship. So my one chance at seeing HST naked eye was successful. I even showed it to someone who was up way before dawn to claim a position on deck for viewing the eclipse later that day. Has anyone observed a predicted sat pass from aboard ship before? -- Jay Respler -- JRespler@surfnj.net Satellite Tracker * Early Typewriter Collector Freehold, New Jersey
