. Because satellites across stars are a fantastic show at night. . Because that's very challenging to become a "superb" satellite observer ; and because people use to love doing what they are very good at. :) Alain ======================================== Message du : 08/09/2011 22:36 De : "Roger " <roger.in.eugene@gmail.com> A : "SeeSat-L" <seesat-l@satobs.org> Copie à : Sujet : Why do people look at satellites? Just wondering, what's the reason some of you watch satellites, work related? Purely hobbiest? Any goals for people,anybody have a 'must see' list they try to complete? I've been lurking for a few years, so I know some of you specialize in types of satellites. Even if I don't post, I do appreciate some of the observations people make. I first started intentionally seeking out satellites back in Sky-lab days. Later on, after the shuttle missions started, I started watching those when I could. I did manage to catch the Mir before it came back down. Lately, I've been more of a watcher, than try to figure out what I saw. I do want to try for the hubble when I'm far enough south, but usually have to wait for vacation for that. ~44N ~123W Roger _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
