Hello guys, my name is Robin and I'm from Stuttgart, Germany [48.8N 09.25E 300m]. Since a few months I'm interested in visual satellites observation. At the first time I've read in the astronomy forum of CompuServe about this. It sounded quite interesting to me and I searched in the internet for more details. So I found to the VSO Homepage, got prediction software and had a new hobby. I work under DOS with TrakSat V3.1 and under Linux with SatTrack. I've written a small program which reads TrakSat's "Tabular Output" files and draws the satellite's track on a skymap (the "Star Background" option is not very useful). cheerio, Robin Lehmann Stuttgart, Germany
