Thanks for the heads up Kurt. ISS came over right on time and very bright as usual. I rather like these morning passes as the satellites are already bright when they first come into view. ATV came along a few minutes later but was very faint. I could just barely make it out with naked eye but easy in 7x35. Sun's coming up. Time to turn in. patrick p.s. I trust everyone will be wearing green today (You should see the outfit picked out to teach tonight's class at SPOC in. Ann would never approve. <g>). On 16 Mar 2008, at 19:33, Canopus56 wrote:
