Here is a short list of the current benefits of registration;

• You can define several observing sites and the coordinates and time zones will be retrieved from our database each time you logon. So if you have several places from which you regularly observe, you don't have to keep re-entering the coordinates when travelling from one to the other. Also, if you want to set-up a temporary site for your holiday destination, you don't have to delete your home site to do so.

• Registered users can subscribe to our AvantGo channel for free, and download predictions to a handheld device for added convenience.

In addition, several other new features are expected to be available soon, and some of these include;

• Enter your own observations of satellites into our database. These observations can help the amateur satellite observer community to keep track of satellites for which orbital data is not available from NASA.

• Select a list of your favourite satellites and either obtain a special set of predictions just for them, or have them included in the "all visible satellites" prediction.

• We intend to make it easy for registered users to configure the prediction parameters to suit themselves. For example, it will be possible to set your own magnitude cut-off and search period.

Any information you enter will be treated strictly confidentially, and we will not pass on any personal information to third parties. It is not even necessary to enter personal information to register, just choose a user name and password which can be anything you wish.

Registration requires cookies to be enabled on your browser, which is usually the default setting. If you choose not to enable cookies, you must use Heavens-Above as an anonymous user.
