That's interesting Geoff and John.

I see most of the sattelites in the same 2 positions. They never change whilst the sky does. One path is North to South very high in the Eastern sky almost at Zenith and the other is West to East high in the Southern sky. I see these regularly every night. The other odd sattelites I see are on no particular nightly pattern.

I see 1 sattelite go by North to South very high in the Western sky each night I am viewing. I only ever see it do 1 lap though. All the others are repeat offenders all night long till well after midnight, which is strange coz the sun shouldn't even be hitting them then.

p.s. I just remembered an interesting sight. On one night I saw a sattelite going the opposite direction from the one in the normal North to South path and it looked like they would hit each other from my viewing spot. Probabaly miles apart from each other!
