I have several subscribers that should be along that transit path in England (and Ireland), including a few in the Liverpool area- whether or not they're also SeeSat-L subscribers, I don't know. I also have a lunar transit (sunlit & nighttime :-) predicted for that same orbit, 11 minutes earlier in South Carolina. If the current atmospheric muck clears in time, it'll be the first transit I've seen since the nearly "accidental" one I observed in October 2001. As I recently discovered, by putting in the latitude & longitude of a point along the predicted transit path, it's easy to get CalSKY to generate a graphic of what the transit should look like- see http://iss-transit.sourceforge.net/TransitPathWidth.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
