Star Gazing on the School Field 02 April 2012

A beautiful,calm Twizel evening greeted the Star Guides from Earth and Sky, Tekapo.
The evening began with a view of something shiny and bright hurtling across the evening sky.
Satellite? Meteor?

At 7.00pm we watched the space station crossing over. It was much slower than the previous object.
Sunset over the sports field at school, with the "Pipehenge" in the foreground.
There is a navigator's seat. Sitting in it, your eye is at the center of a skeletal sphere, with the summer and winter path of the sun indicated by the white arcs.
North is past the red pole, south past the blue pole, east past the green pole, and west past the yellow pole.
The circle shows the path of the Southern Cross around the South Celestial Pole.
