Lutz Schindler recently wrote in part: ..Sometimes I know FLASH newsletter and also seesat-l is only a publication for advanced satellite observers. I can not comment about the FLASH newsletter but as for seesat-l I do not think it is only for the "advanced" sat observer. I would guess the subscriber list would include the full spectrum from novice (like myself) to the Professional. Sometimes the topics get very technical but if the topic interests me I will ask for a further explaination for a lay person like myself. Normally I would ask it directly to the information source but here may lie the problem. If the question pertains directly to this list, then maybe the question should be submitted to the list so that others *may* learn also. Bottom line; don't be afraid to ask questions. Someone on this list would be more than happy to answer. I've been impressed by others on this list who *do* take the time to answer questions from the inexperienced observer. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Hunt, Charlotte Hall, Md. 38.51N, 76.76W E-mail: jhunt@eagle1.eaglenet.com ----------------------------------------------------------------
