I base this in part on Lance's report of "a very > nice northern lights display" and Sky & Telescope's story of a noteworthy on that date: Ted, very nice! You caught me! Boy did I mess up on my first post!!! Thanks for doing this research. I knew it was the weekend AFTER Labor Day (first Monday in Sept. in the US), but it's been so long I just quickly glanced at my calendar and was thinking 2nd weekend in Sept. But now that you've made me look more closely at my calendar, sure enough, it was the 7th! Thank you so much. The pass data you included does correspond to my visual sighting. They did flicker out about a third of the way down to the horizon. I checked out PocketSat and must say I am incredibly impressed with that program. The Palm seems to be an ideal platform for tracking satellites and am really looking forward to using it. I promise to try to not be so careless from now on and thank you all so much for your feedback. Clear skies... ...Lance -- Lance Pickup O- VNET/IBM Internet: lpickup@btv SiGe Digital & Mixed Signal Internet: lpickup@vnet.ibm.com IBM Microelectronics ICQ UIN: 216830 Burlington, VT Phone: (802) 769-7104 (tie 446) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
