[ale] OT: [Fwd: Jupiter and the Space Station]

[James P. Kinney III]

COOL!!!!!  I may have to load up the telescope and video camera and
drive out for this. At 9 pm-ish, the ISS will still be in the sunlight
during the transit so it _may_ be possible to see the structure
superimposed on Jupiter.

Now to see if I can get the video camera to couple to the eyepiece
tube....
