Wow! With a great moon, half my neighborhood and I watching, # 67 was a breathtaking knockout Tuesday nite with it's predicted -8 brightness and 10+ seconds pass. As a soon-to-be-former Motorola MCSI (Iridium Sales) employee, I've told and shown neighbors these wonderful and likely soon to be historical lights in the sky and they're finally begun to watch. Hoots and hollers all across the canyon up here in the San Bernardinos. Can hardly wait for # 43's arrival tonite. The -7's and 8's are the best and it's unfortunate so many people who'd appreciate such sights (which can be seen in even the most light-polluted skies), won't know about them. Iridium over Manhattan is such a mix of "metaphors" and consciousness. I keep bugging the LA Times but seems they're only zeroed in on the financial fiasco story. Motorola could drop station keeping at the end of any day now. Sidebar: although my license plates have read VIA SAT since 1982, I'm a viewing newbie and able to report I'm confirming nightly passes of 8-10 of the 14 nightly PM passes and am beginning to now check out the early am sky. You can always tape "The Soprano's" but the sky is live with never a rerun. Keep watching...jb John Breckenridge 909-337-6901 34.2388 -117.2327 5860' VERY clear sky! ______________________________________________________ Get Your FREE FlashMail Address now at http://www.flashmail.com It's Free, Easy, & Fun !!! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
