Sure, count me in. With the Genesis landing in Sept 2004, NASA posted some 3-D orbital landing schematics for Oregon to Utah that were helpful. They showed the az & alt in miles overlaid with a general map of the Utah west desert test range. If there is anything similar that would be helpful.
The NASA guy is going to generate charts showing time, altitude and azimuth as seen from Elko, Wells, Wendover, SPOC and SLC. He figures that while it should still be as bright as Venus as seen from SLC, it will be so low in the sky that the mountains will block the view. Even though it _may_ be visible from SPOC I'm headed for Wendover because I want to hear the reentry as well and see (and image) it. Patrick
