Hello all,
I am Kenny and I am a new subscriber. I am very new to viewing
satellites and have a few questions.
I live in Kenner Louisiana and have a great view NORTH over Lake
Pontchatrain from about 270 degrees to 90 degrees. My southern view is
somewhat light polluted though :-(.
I have lots of luck seeing Mir, shuttle and HST by using my
computer software. Now here's the question.....
Sometimes, when I am stargazing with binoculars at 90 degrees
(overhead), I see a fast moving object moving from about 175 degrees to
350 degrees (almost directly north). Is this a strange occurence? Am I
seeing a "polar" sat? I see these objects up to one and a half hours
after sunset.
Does anyone know what I am looking at?
Hope I made sense....
Kenny
