It looks like NASA has cameras in my area to look for falling objects.

  Thanks Greg, cool stuff. Maybe they will get a picture of a UFO Wink Rolling Eyes! d'oh! You would be suprised how many amateurs are involved with tracking objects in the sky.  I would love someday, if I can afford it, to get a CCD camera for my telescope, and take pictures of a part of the sky every 10 minutes and see if anything moves in that time period.  May find a NEO (Near Earth Object). Hardest part of the whole thing is checking to see if it is already cataloged or something new. I have to complete my weather station first though.
