Thanks fellows So it seems that one has to be lucky to see a flash from a geosat,looking at the correct place at correct time. I have been trying to see Gorizont 17 which seems to be above my western horizon. I got the position from the Orbit program,plotted it on a star chart and tried to look for it for about two hours but no joy. Is there a favoured time for flashes to occur , a required geometry between the sun,sat and the observer? Also sometime back I was given the link to geoflash.tle on the list. I seem to have lost it. I need to refresh geoflash.txt which is about thirty days old now. Bjoern, how did you obtain that beautiful star chart with sat tracks? Is it very difficult to do? The orbit program which I use at present gives a ground track but not a projection against the sky Thanks all for the help Ulhas Deshpande Nagpur, Central India 21 08 30 N,79 03 08 E Alt 247 m ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
