Hi All, Long time since I've posted, but I still lurk. Based on Ted's post-circularization orbit: Shenzhou 5 7.8 2.5 0.0 5.4 d 1 70001U 03288.67700930 .00036000 00000-0 19749-3 0 17 2 70001 42.4080 26.2791 0004797 163.8920 321.6647 15.78791273 101 the spacecraft will make a pass low in the north tomorrow morning for the Los Angeles area beginning just before 6:00 am PDT. Look for Shenzhou 5 to come out of the earth's shadow directly beneath Cassiopeia about 17 degrees above the northwest horizon around 5:59:30 am. It will be moving left to right, and will pass about halfway between Polaris and the horizon at 6:00:30 am. The pass will be much better for those in the San Francisco Bay area, with Shenzhou 5 making its appearance near epsilon-Cas (the highest star in Cassiopeia) at ~5:59:20, high in the northwest. 30 seconds later it will pass about 8 degrees above Polaris, heading for the center of the Big Dipper, just below the bowl. --Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
