100 Hours of Astronomy - Day 2
What to do on day 2? Well, you could watch for satellites, there's a few going around at the moment. Sadly, iridium flares are few and far between, and the International Space Station doesn't pass by until Sunday, but you might juts see the Hubble Space Telescope.
If the skies are cloudy, at around 7:00 pm AEST the around the world in 80 telescopes webcast begins, so you can tune in to that.
UPDATE: The links at 100 hours of astronomy appear buggy. I've edited the link so it works now. Also, the live USTREAM video doesn't work for me, but the saved videos do. Pity the popup ads on the video are so annoying.
