See the YES2 tether from Europe between 20:20 and 20:50

Dear all, in about half an hour, the tether will pass VISIBLY over Europe, see fat red line. Within the thin red line approximately (NOT precise!) you should be able to see it. Direction to look at: get it from the map. Expect a thin line about the size of the Moon, moving gently in about 5 minutes from horizon to horizon. If you are on the thin red line, say Madrid, look North, North East, East. If you are in the center (Patras, look Northwest, overhead, Southeast). If you are on upper thin line (Warsaw) look South West basically. The times in this drawing are probably not correct, I fear it is half an hour later in reality. Hope you didnt go home disappointed at 20:20...

FROM 19:50 to 20:20 CET!!! Go out and look, every observation is valuable. Try to make a picture, but write down exact time (check your watch with actual time afterwards) and direction you are looking in when you see it. This is important mission information for YES2!

Operation Skywatch

Submitted by Gerrit on Tue, 25/09/2007 - 23:30.

Hey, guys!

We should've had our mission a day earlier. We had an absolutely clear sky here last night. And while the cloud cover here opens evey once again for a glimpse of a small patch of sky, it was impossible to spot anything here earlier.

Any news form the Alaskan/Antarctican observers?

Greetings, Gerrit

As many times in the Netherlands.

It is raining again, i hope there will be a second chance to watch the Tether?

Please keep us informed.

Many thanks for the detailed info.

Best regards Marcel. 

Ps, I already miss you all.
