Hey All,
I posted an earlier email to this group about
looking along the eastern horizon at sunset to see
flaring satellites because of the optimum
observer-satellite-sun angle for the solar panels.
Without special motor mounts to track the anti-solar
point up off the eastern horizon, it would be somewhat
difficult to know where exactly to look in bright
twilight. However, on March 3, 2004 Jupiter will be in
opposition so it will be very close to the anti-solar
point and as good a reference point as any. The moon
will be 3 days from full so it will be up above
Jupiter at sunset. Again, anyone ever look for this
effect? If not, Mar 3 sounds like as good a time as
any.
Regards,
Jeff Umbarger
