    Hi See-Sat'ers,
    I tried using Heavens-Above to show the Mir pass for Sydney that Rob
    Matson mentioned, without any luck.  My own predictions match Rob's,
    so I wonder why Heavens-Above isn't showing it?   The sun would be about
    14 degrees below the local horizon for that pass, so it wouldn't be
    filtered out because the sky was too bright.
    
    Here's the link if anyone cares to try it yourself:
    www.heavens-above.com/main.asp?Loc=Sydney&Lat=-33.883&Lng=151.217&TZ=AEST
    
    When I click on the Mir link from that page it only shows a pass for
    March 23 at 19:49-19:53 local time.  Even clicking on the 'Prev' link
    doesn't make the pass show up.
