absolutely! caught 15 visually tonight... that's about average around here but
if we were able to shoot^H^H^H^H^Hturn out some lights, we'd have a darker sky
and likely catch maybe 10 more ;)

TL> Yep, I do know what TLEs are, and have used them many times. :-)

my project was mainly designed to replace orbitel because of its ancient DOS
(and BASIC) limitations... especially considering that orbitel could not create
a full TLE list with all current satellites in it...
