Greg Roberts said: "SeeSat was boring", "the FAQ was out of date" "no discussion of techniques etc". "use was not being made generally of new technology etc" :O)) No no no, Greg didn't say that but boy have I heard and read similar discussion myself. I would like to contribute to the FAQ's but my contribution would have to be esoteric, as I don't have the technical knowhow for orbital determination etc. If someone will take the lead, I will be happy to write up any part I can, as directed. Perhaps I can discuss beginner techniques, visual only, urban observing with everything from naked eye to a large Dob. My impression is that the FAQ has mainly temporal faults: 1. Obsolete - broken links and references 2. Outdated - discussion of Mir as an example 3. Outmoded - little discussion of newer techniques like <gulp> CCD and video 4. Old fashioned - the look and feel of the FAQ's and much of the software referenced will not impress newer readers I can't help with much other than newer anecdotes from more recent events. I would like to expand the sections on flashing and flaring geosats.
