starlink pass w/clear a sky forecast tonight
They say a clear sky will allow us to see this pass of 48 or so starlink satellites tonight.
6:26 pm first one rising in the SW 6:33 pm last one rising in the SW
rising to 72¡ã to 82¡ã in the SE
6:30 pm first one setting in the ENE
6:40 pm last one setting in the ENE
Face South or Southeast, watch them rise in the SW and set in the ENE.
Let there be clear skies this evening....
If it is clear, there will probably be a UFO invasion listed in the Chronicle police reports Wednesday. Just like the last good pass.

Hello all,
I just had to post this email from one of my groups. The group
name is repeater-builder. This is a cut and paste.
Just couldn't help but getting a good belly laugh.

My High School Electronics Teacher told us he liked Tesla
Coils... so we built
and all enjoyed testing them. I built one out a large 10
inch dia sewer
pipe/tube, probably 8 foot vertical standing height.? It
operated with a large
neon sign transformer controlled from/through a variac.
Fast forward, aka "smash-cut" about 8 to 10 years later... I
was asked to sub
teach back at my old High School, so I went by the
electronics classroom to
see if anyone I knew was still around.
The instructor had left, new guy in place and things were
kind of the same. One
learns you can rarely ever "go back" and expect all to be as
it was. After some
nice back and forth with the current instructor, I spotted
my old 8 foot high Tesla
Coil stored in the back of the room.?? "Hey, there's my old
Tesla Coil"...?
"You're the one who built that Tesla?" ... the instructor
then proceed to tell me a story...
Years before, someone had stolen/borrowed the control variac
from the Tesla Coil base
unit. I had never operated the Tesla up at anything above
20% of the Variac's full
range potential.. it was quite the monster.
Another person had later found the unit and decided to plug
it in (less the variac)
direct to the way, full mains supply potential ... and off
it went.
It started plasma cutting bolts across the room, keeping
students pinned behind
benches and around corners. Anyone attempting to move away
from cover was
quickly punished.? Someone managed to cut the building power
about 25 minutes
later, the AC power cord was quickly cut off the Tesla
supply...? The class room still
has hundreds of etch marks all over the walls and roof.
Wasn't my fault...?? left the school that day, never saw
that Tesla Coil again. Wonder
if whom ever ended up with it... ever plugged it in.
cheers,
Hamm's Beer Neon Sign Power Transformer

oops: Starlink pass 22 Dec Tues
Upon re-checking the next pass, I found that it is on Tuesday the 22nd. Sorry. I think that the prediction changed, although, I could have had a "brain fart".
A high and bright pass of Starlink satellites is forecast for Tuesday evening, 22 December. A string of 53 satellites should start at 5:15pm in the West Northwest at 10¡ã above the horizon. They should pass nearly overhead. From 80¡ã to 90¡ã above the horizon.
And set at 5:30pm, in the Southeast at about 10¡ã above the horizon.
Hope it is a clear evening, Harley I saw nothing Sunday, too cloudy.

As far as I know, it was not

Quite a bit of clever electronics
went into it, like inside of the rotating
wheels etc ...
Looks like helicopter and drone
video.

Re: Belgrade Christmas Convoy
Thanks Harley! Coworker showed this to me. I am bummed we missed it and hope they do it again next year. Looks like a lot of effort went into this.

amazing double starlink pass 20 dec Sun
A high and bright "double pass" of 62 Starlink satellites is set for Sunday evening, 20 December. This prediction is for Bozeman, but Butte, Helena, Missoula, & Kalispell are in the path too.
String 1, of 21 satellites will start at 5:40pm, from the Northwest at 10¡ã above the horizon. They will pass to the North of directly overhead. From 60¡ã to 80¡ã above the horizon.
And set at 6:04pm, in the East Southeast at about 15¡ã above the horizon.
String 2, of 41 satellites will start at 6:07pm, from the West Northwest at 10¡ã above the horizon.They will pass to the South of directly overhead. From 70¡ã to 80¡ã above the horizon.
And set at 6:20pm, in the Southeast at about 15¡ã above the horizon.
Imagine what the "Three Wise Men" would have thought ...
Hope it is a clear evening, Harley

I use the following link to find anything in the sky. You must set your location, then pick what you want to see.
Good hunting, the clouds have been masking the starlink satellites. Saw nothing Monday or Tuesday.
