    To All,
    
    I want to Thank Everyone who sent me info. Great Stuff!!  It is obvious that I am not alone in looking up at the stars. Some of you have SOOOO much more knowledge and experience than I do. I am happy to read and learn as I go along. I did not fully understand a lot of the stuff but I am learning!!!
    
    Thanks again to all!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello,
    
    I have checked on a cple of web sites that say the shuttle will be "viewable" at certan times on certain days.  I live in lower NY state above NYC and it turns out that all these viewable times are from 7-9 am.  
    
    Pls help my confusion on a cple of points. 
    
    * does "viewable" mean to the naked eye?
    * since it wil be during sun hrs will it still be posible to view the STS?
    * I have an 8" Meade Telescope.  Any suggestions on using it for daytime viewing of the STS?
    
    Thank u in advance for any help/pointers you can give me.
