Another "thanks for the heads up". Missed/forgot last night's pass,  
but got a chance to show tonight's to my two oldest sons (12 and 11)  
and they found it quite enjoyable and interesting.

We all found a separation of about 4 fingers held at arm's length.  
How far away from each other are they in orbit?
