Hello all, Although I have observed satellite passes for years, I have only recently discovered this mailing list, prediction programmes (which still confuse me at this stage) and the world-wide interest in the subject, so I am very new to the actual hobby. Since I currently do not have the time to learn to use these programmes and keep them current, I have resorted to using the GSOC (DLR) site for a list of predictions. Furthermore, because the neighbourhood that I live in has so much light pollution I have to use binoculars to observe (not always, but mostly). Last night I was tracking Cosmos 100 from N to E 30 degrees to S, when suddenly another satellite crossed paths going in the opposite direction, so for a second is was looking at two satellites through the same lens. According to the list this was Resurs 01 Rocket going S to E at 33 degrees to N. I found this quite exciting to have seen two satellites, for a moment, in one field of binocular view. I wonder, is this a common sight ? As I am new to this hobby, may I ask which is the preferred software (least confusing) to use for pass predictions, and where the best place is to get the tle files. Something I'd really like to eventually progress to, is to be able to find and view geostationary satellites through a telescope. Is this tricky ?
