Ok space geniuses, explain this one to me. I have perused the Heavens-Above listing of passes for the ISS. I also have the Satellite Tracker program for my...
Oh, what a great question. First, you have to establish where your Keplerian elements come from, and how "fresh" they are. ISS burns for station keeping...

Very nice, Judy. I don't see any issues as far as focus goes. Did you image these with the new Vixen scope or the Meade? Also did you use the LPI for...
