- Last night at 8pm PST from San Francisco I saw a satellite heading northward
- from Sagittarius to Cygnus. I tried to time it's travel and catch it on the
- next orbit but was unsucessful.
-
- Are there any public domain programs to calculate when and where
- to sight the larger and more visable sattelites? Or are the orbits so
- obvious that it only takes a FAQ?
