    Hello friends,
    
    We had a 2234 EDT mag +1.3 pass of the ISS WNW -> ENE with mag -4 flare
    last night (8/1). The earlier pass at dusk (2057 EDT) was noticeably
    brighter than the predicted 0.0, too.
    
    Getting ready to start seriously applying the 8" LX200 & LXsat to
    tracking.... any hints/accumulated wisdom appreciated.
    
    Kind regards,
    Harry
    43.0N 73.1W  (NW CT)

    If you're not part of the solution, you're not dissolved in the solvent.
