Greetings, As a long time reader of this list and part time satellite observer, I was looking into the possibility of catching the upcoming launch as it climbs up the East coast. Years ago I caught a night launch from Cape Lookout, NC and still remember that most fantastic telescopic view of the main engines plume of fire in the black sky. While researching a possible repeat viewing, I quickly realized the presence of the near full Moon. That eliminated chances of easy video capture, with the bright lunar glare, but I began thinking of photo capture of an assending shuttle\external tank assembly crossing the lunar disk. My prediction skills are very rusty and the thought of updating old software adds more grey hair to this old noggin. I want to ask this excellent group if anyone would like a challenge. I believe there are a few of the list that could benefit from such predictions for this upcoming launch. Thanks - in advance, Jeff Poplin King, NC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
