how dare the manmade lights prevent us from seeing the manmade satellite

So how would one go about figuring out where: 10 above SW & 10 above NE is....

7/6/2009 5:15:39 PM

i've been on the space station

I would just like to note that dweedle's posts are always satisfactory or better

7/6/2009 5:18:12 PM

my guess for 10 above NE would be that you get a compass and find where NE is

then look about 1/9th upward from the horizon to straight upward

anyone know whether this is generally right?

Yeah. The pic below shows an approach of 10 deg above WSW and a departure of 31 deg above NE. I've tried to get out and find it a few times but I'm usually a minute or two late or something.
