Kmlwx Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ian, so if we get the clock started again here shortly would you still think it'll be a decent sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ian, so if we get the clock started again here shortly would you still think it'll be a decent sight? No clue. Maybe makes it more critical to catch the actual launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 No clue. Maybe makes it more critical to catch the actual launch. FWIW - Lots of clouds seen on the webcast http://mfile.akamai.com/18569/live/reflector:59445.asx?bkup=32644 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 said 1 hr power up.. if they dont start the clock till then that blows Yeah I heard that - you would think they would program that into the clock. NASA is confusing sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 We're now looking at no earlier than 10:00pm Don't know if I'll venture out to the Glenmont garage tonight. Maybe just head up to a relatively clear area. NOt sure how high on the horizon I need to have clear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool confluence of events with the current launch schedule. Looks like ISS crosses here around 10:15. Really perfect evening to enjoy a shot at two "celestial" sights here in the land of dark skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
