Well. I hope we get an early morning pass. I saw nothing. But, I have a lot of light pollution

[OrangeDaisy]

I saw them! I'm about 12 miles east of the city, and they arrived from the west, so the light pollution was pretty bad. I found a dark spot with no street lights, but there was a nearby ballpark. It's so hard to get away from lights even in the suburbs. It was a very faint blinking light, but obviously on an orbital path. It arched over the moon and exited the sky near the (faint) red planet.

Very cool. I saw it once - years ago just before sunrise. And she was red and streaking fast across the sky, I guess I won't see that again

[glock rocks]

Awesome!

awsome pics, how do you screen cap them

[ChadGore]

1) Dowload VLC

2) File - Open Network Stream - type in this URL:
http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx

3) Right-Click to bring up the pop-up menu and click SNAPSHOT

4) Goto http://xs.to/ and browse to the file you want to upload and press HOST FILE.

Like this:

and like this:

I add a width="640" to each image link to double their size when posting here.

[ChadGore]

This is a screen cap without the the "width=640"

[markman46]

I have VLC on my laptop at home, I'll have to try it out with your instructions tonite.. thanks again
