Hi James, Regarding USA 39, you wrote: > BTW: autostar "said" that it should be visable until 3:28??AM local time. > Does this sound about right? That depends on your location. In southern California, the satellite is "visible" 24 hours a day, but further east it's elevation is low enough that it spends some of its orbit below the horizon. However, from your location the satellite is always above the horizon. > We called it off at about 11PM local MDT as the air was really getting > heavy with dew. The flashes probably hadn't started yet -- probably more like 11:30pm MDT. > Tonight the humidity should be around 30%, skys clear, but with brighter > moon. Should the element set still work? Yes -- the elset should get you within 0.5 degrees crosstrack, and I'd guess within a few minutes of right ascension. Good luck! --Rob ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
