Hi, I'm trying to watch visual artificial satellites. I received the datas about my place here: http://www2.plasma.mpe-garching.mpg.de/~sat/pred/Rome/index.html but my observation location is about 500 km SSE direction from Rome Could the datas referred to Rome have any influence to which observe ? The satellite position over the sky, could be much different, for those two observing locations ? another simple question : I found these datas for Rome: Predictions for Rome 1997 Sept 21 Sun evening *** Times are PM CEDT ^^^^ H M S Name El Mag Dir Motion Range 19:45:52 Lacrosse 2 38 3.9 W ->RU 1008 19:46:59 45 3.2 NW ->R 908 ... CEDT : which time zone location refers ? Does it refer to gmt +2 ? thanks in advantage. --------------------------------------------------------- astronomers click here: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dimension/5189/astrow.htm ----------------------------------------------------------- Nico Lonetti polaris@diemme.it Cosenza - Italy ----------------------------------------------------------- G.A.M.
