[bars] [yccc] Good Shuttle Pass - 8:41 PM

[William Smith]

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov

One of those websites that _doesn't_ work with the www. prefix.

Also, that tells you the visibility from nearby towns, where others will allow you to narrow down your location.  Not that there's a big difference.

There's an iPhone App for everything, but my Favorite Wife (N1IUS) was using SkyGuide and knew exactly where to look.  I'm sure there are dozens of others.

Enjoy!

73, Willie N1JBJ
