Not saluting, but I did wave at those buggers in the ISS earlier ... don't think they saw me. :-((

If you have downloaded the latest version of Stellarium remember to go to the plugins part of the configuration and make sure that satellites gets loaded because then it will show the space station in real time (as well as other satellites).

I just started it up again and the CO-58 was bombing across the sky, very cool.

[NazNomad]

Wow, zoom right out, it's like someone kicked a wasps nest, lol

[bibblebub]

I turned the light-pollution down to 1, and it's still lighter that I can see in my garden ...YAYYYY.

The sky here, looks just like that program ... stunning.
