    I just ran a systems test, and everythings so far a go for tonight.
    I set the bitrate, so the transmission doesn't drop out as much, as using a higher bandwidth.
    The video won't be as good, as if you download it off my website.
    Hopefully you see something. Make sure to adjust the contrast and brightness of your computer
    monitor.

    Area of sky, I'll be aimed at.
    
    0 h 23 m R.A
    -6 deg 28 min Dec
    
    There's a mag 7.5 star there, plus some fainter ones. Not sure if the fainter stars, will show up
    to well.  But the whole point is to look for the geo sat's:)
    
    Time broadcast begins is 9:00 pm EDT Oct 6 are 1 UTC ( Oct 7 ). I fiqured I should be awake by
    then, as I sleep during the day. The broadcast will last roughly 1 hour. PAS 1R will be the last
    geo sat shown.
    
    The first geo sat to pass through, should be SPAINSAT with 2 HISPASAT 1D and 1C near it.
    
    Time inserter will be in use, so you can id, what geo sat's are passing by. No all geo sat's might
    be seen, as last time I found alot were faint still.
    
    There's some delay from my transmission, to you receiving it.
    
    Kevin
