Strange Observation

Welcome on board w.

I've often been out for only 30 min. with no observing aids.
As a result, I've spotted maybe a dozen or more satelites going any which way.
One other cool thing is to watch two (or more) sats making for one another and willing them to collide! :twisted:

Thanks Paul. Yeah I was out back in August at about 2 or 3 in the morning and was amazed at the amount of them I saw! Was the first while in a few years that I was out looking at the sky for any amount of time. Have been getting back into it since.

By the way, I wrote to TAS some years back when I was doing a Junior Cert Science project. Whoever wrote back was very helpful if I remember correct!

Wow, wonder who that was? What is your name? There are a few TAS members here!

John,
thanks for posting that link! For some reason, I always had it in my head that it was the NOAA, but its the NOSS! No wonder I couldn't find it before!

And I have added it to the Links section.
