Hello all.

I use to find the north direction by searching for the Polar Star so I don't
have any trouble with compass errors. I never used one at a night with
visible stars.
By the way, I too did not see the shuttle, it only was visible shortly
before sunrise here. Also I want to express my opinion on the change of
posts on this list from endless chains of numbers only to mails dealing with
the beauty of a satellite sailing across the sky, too. THATS why I'm
watching satellites!

Does anyone know when the Iridium satellites are expected to stop flaring
finally?

Best wishes
