I've been playing with the features on the "Heavens Above" satellite tracking website, and they give good indications of where to look (azimuth and elevation) to catch specific satellites. I found out that Bigelow Aerospace's Genesis I expandable space station test vehicle had several well-placed, high-elevation (and visible, with it being sunlit) passes over Fairbanks, Alaska throughout the night, but the &#%^!~% sky was overcast! I'll catch it and/or Genesis II one of these nights (as well as the ISS, which is a harder target to see from here).

Your welcome!
isstracker sends me e-mails usually too late or at some unholy hour that it's mostly useless.

I just came across this quite comprehensive satellite observation site, the "Visual Satellite Observer's Home Page" (see: http://www.satobs.org/satintro.html ). It even has a video (transferred from motion picture film, of course) of a fly-over by Sputnik, plus coverage of memorable satellite re-entries.
