[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 5754, member: 175144"] By the way 0101010101, your idea on where the satellite sits above you based on where you are is not quite right either The further East or West the satellite is from the viewer, the lower or further declined the satellite will appear. This is due to the position of the satellite relative to the Earth (and hence its orbital slot designation) is based on center earth angle. Some of us however, are sitting on a thin crust about 3600 miles from thae center, so the viewed angle is somewhat less. Eg a satellite at 40 degrees will appear to be at approximately 46/7 degrees, and any satellite at 73 or so degrees is effectively on the horizon. [/QUOTE]
