The satellite passes below start 22:35 UTC (6:35 local time) Thursday night and follow until 10:16 pm local time. As you can see from the list below there are satellite passes of many different satellites and modes. This is a good evening to come by and learn how to use the satellites and the advantages/disadvantages of each mode.

I hope to see you there!
