Posting

Pictures, self-posts, articles and so on that are relevant to satellite watching are all welcome.

When posting about observations, add as much information as you have:

Where did you see the satellite?
When did you see it?
What satellite is it?(if you have identified it that is.)

Try to present information in an available manner. Most importaint and basic info first. Then more technical data.
