awesome.. yeah I think they are still doing that, I have just never got around to getting my amateur license.
...Thanks for the comments. Any pics I took would have come out as a white blur. I am planning to get a camera mount on a telescope so that will produce some good shots hopefully.
The next good pass will be on July 4. (You just enter in your lat/long on
http://heavens-above.com and it tells you what to look for where and when etc) I have a feeling that July 4 won't be the best night to be looking for lights in the sky though.
