[QUOTE="satcomuk, post: 133683, member: 196100"] Hi Guys....thanks for the welcome........and the replies. I managed to pick up a Promax MC944 last night at a fair price so I'll let you know how it goes . Weight doesnt bother me as I only use it indoors to watch out for feeds popping up on the likes of 20 west etc. Rather than post pics , it might be easier to check out a couple of my sites to see the sat images... [url="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/March2005.html"]http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/March2005.html[/url] is my main ISS site.. With...... [url="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/"]http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/[/url] showing the station as it crosses the Sun or Moon But.....probably of most interest here is [url="http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/geos.htm"]http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/geos.htm[/url] which has pics and video of the geosats in orbit. Right now is the best time to look out for geostationary birds as we are just about to enter the "outage" period. This means that during late evening , the geos can flare to naked eye visibility.......and certainly bino/small telescope magnitude. Interestingly , when some of the sat fleet operators have seen these videos , they have been quite surprised just how much their birds move around. You can imagine what a nightmare it must be for the likes of SES to keep seven birds in tight formation within their 140 km control box ! ;) Best wishes, John [/QUOTE]
