I am not a happy camper right now... I just observed a brilliant ISS pass about 4° under Jupiter, with almost perfect (dark) blue skies. If I'd headed south 93 miles (just below Columbia, SC), it would have gone right thru, but 2.5 hours ago, there were just patches of blue in between all the clouds- and hour later, of course, blue skies! (None of the weather services predicted clearing this early, naturally.) I've also predicted that on the next pass- 68 miles to the northwest, anyway- it'll be visible where it'll briefly eclipse/occult/transit Venus!... Anyhow, tonight I'm making a serious attempt at finally mastering astro-videography, using a Firewire webcam, so maybe I'll be a little happier before the night's done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
