(meteorobs) OT question (Endeavour)

[Chris Crawford]

You should go to http://www.heavens-above.com/ and set up your own  
account -- it costs nothing. You'll have to enter your latitude and  
longitude -- try to get these with one minute of accuracy (you can  
get pretty good results using Google Earth). Once you've set that up,  
you can get detailed predictions for the Space Shuttle, the ISS, and  
Iridium flares. These last are especially fun. You can really impress  
your friends by showing them a bright Iridium flare.

BTW, how far south of Troy are you?
