I have managed to get this event into the news media,(although they introduced an error- nothing to do with my earlier ones in Seesat- but I don't think it will cause too much problem) so hopefully there may be some photo and video coverage. I have found difficulties in the past finding ways of spreading the word rapidly and reliably, but this one works with the word getting out within a few hours of posting. Prospects for suitable weather are promising. I am hoping this may bring some more interest to our hobby with some more New Zealand observers - locally too which will be a bonus as most sky observers here seem to be astronomers with little interest in satellites, and there are other people with more interest in the technical aspects of the satellites themselves rather than observing them. At least this event is more predictable than waiting for something spectacular to fall out of the sky.... :-) If STS-118 gets away on time we may be looking at it immediately post docking, in view of the success this time I will be using the same means of getting the word out if it there are no changes. More on that event later depending on any launch delays.
