    Dear List,
    
    On November 1, 2000 I captured some new photos of Mir.
    
    On Monday November 6, 2000, I posted this question:
    
    ****************
    In other words, during both the Feb. 10, 2000 pass, and the Nov. 1, 2000
    pass, my telescope/camera moved through approx 45 degrees WSW. 
    Remarkably, the images obtained at this point in both passes are nearly
    identical, though the newest images are a bit clearer, (due to improved
    technique). Images from the two different passes can even be stacked.
    Sheer Luck seems out of the question. I have not yet posted the new
    pictures to my satphoto site yet, but I shall soon.
    
    Is this possible? Does Mir remain in, or is it returned to, a common
    orientation (relative to the Sun), say for the recent docking maneuver?
    ****************
    
    But, alas, I recieved no (0) replies.  Does anybody on this list know
    the answer?  Do I need to re-phrase the question?  Does anyone know
    where else that I could enquire?
