to rec.radio.shortwave: %MM "uncle arnie" wrote in message ... I was out at 56 degrees north, 103 W at about 7:30 pm local time, which is about 3 hours after sunset. Laid out on a beach at -10C (+5 F) with the waves tinkling the ice along the shore in the dark, with an ocassional groan as the pack shifted into the beach. In the 40 mins of watching, I saw 4 satellites tracking east to west and 2 going north to south. It'd be interesting to have a database of these, so you could tell what you were seeing. Maybe there's too much junk up there to sort out by time and earth observation point. That one's easy. There's all kind of satellite tracking software all over the internet. A quick search under "satellite tracking" should bring in more hits than you know what to do with. I used to use several different programs myself, but that was a few years ago and so I couldn't make any recommendations. (I had to give it up because of the light pollution around where I live.) Thanks, I'll have a go. |
