Hi Ron and List,

I want to thank Ron Lee for his dedication in attempting to
observe a satellite transit of the sun, and congratulate him
on his success!  If I'm not mistaken, he's only the second
person (the first being Ron Dantowitz) to successfully,
deliberately, observe a satellite transiting the sun.  (In
both cases, the satellite in question was ISS).  As Ron has
demonstrated, persistence and mobility are the key factors
in successfully pulling off such a feat.  Now, can it be
repeated with a different (large) satellite?

Best,
Rob
