Has a huge database listing for location of cities around the world. I found it while trying to get Lat Long coordinates for obscure European cities.

Gives you a sky watcher guide to satelites and "flares" to look for as the pass over. Also constelation info as well as amature radio downling freqs for a bunch of setelites.

OK it has been almost a year since I have stubled onto this. Now MAKE has too. If you don't have your vol 3 yet, just look 1/3 the way down on MAKE magazine.

And keep in mind that maps.google.com has satellite images for large parts of Europe.

don't they make the back issues available in PDF to subscribers? I really need to remember to subscribe to this magazine...

I'm subscribing today, so I'll know for the future. Just in case, I need to shoot things...

I have an old paintball gun that I would love to modify to make a fully auto stay puff gun
