Interesting...

Last year I wanted to TiVo that on my direct TV receiver.

I have Starry Night Pro 5.0, and can get the satellite ephemeris (which for a geostationary satellite are really “permaneris”) from the help menu on the receiver and then find out when the sun crosses. Should be a fun experiment.

I once spent some time looking at an S-Band radar A-Scope display for an increase in noise in the morning as it scanned in the direction of the sun, but have to admit that I was disappointed.

I got Starry Night 6.2, but that's a feature I forgot about, or didn't think to check.

Before Christmas, I got into a discussion about the Star of Bethlehem, and ...satellites were appearing in what the date was, 3BC?

Any way, I came across the menu option to make satellites "historical" as well, or I think that's what the option was for.

I would have thought that would be the default.

Oops, I got Starry Night Pro too...

Isn't the Sun (and Jupiter, as well) "noisiest" at ~20.5Mhz, give or take?
