Hallo, I played arround with the Satellite tracker software. I have following questions. 1. How to enable that the telescope will move from my alignment star ...
... This would be a nice feature, but it's not currently available (that I know of). The viewing plan will show you the approximate position that a satellite...
I think this is a good suggestion. Rather than announcing 'object below horizon', have an option to slew the scope to the anticipated AOS and wait there until...
With the advent of Digicams that can image for 1 - 16 sec it would be nice to position scope on the track someplace to take an exposure that would allow a...
Here are a few... http://freespace.virgin.net/philip.masding/index.htm http://www.iss-tracking.de/ My site - www.geocities.com/tegwilym2/astrophotos (click on...
I'm running Sat Tracker on a Celeron 1 Ghz Toshiba laptop. Things work fine the first time and slews my Nexstar GPS 11 to a satellite then follows(indoor fake...
Hello, I fired up the tracker tonight, under clear skies. The program displayed fine for a few minutes with the ISS monitor showing the ISS over the southern...
When you say you "refreshed the TLE file" do you mean you downloaded a new file, or did you just use the "refresh list" button, which does nothing to the file?...
Hello John, Thank you for the prompt response. I appreciate your patience with people like myself that know enough about computers to be "dangerous" to...
I have the same problem with computers. Here's the process; 1) Download a TLE file from the web (Celestrack 100 brightest is a good one). Do this the same...
When I download the '100 (or so) brightest" satellites from Celestrak, they go into a file called "visual.txt', not 'visual.tle'. I usually then DOS-copy...
Hello Bill, Thanks for the pointers. Tonight is suppose to be clear and cold (around 10 above F). I wear triple gear to keep comfortable but still head in the...
All,
I was in a local (nationwide-chain) electronics store last night doing some= Christmas Shopping.
I was in the games section when I found a 5.4" LCD...
... Ok if I offer a guess? Sounds a lot like Stracker still has the port captured & the new scan is trying to open a new session without closing the old. I...
Hi Tony: I have been reading the StellaCam_EX Yahoo listserver (it's a very sensitive TV camera with built in frame adding) and they found that if you are...
The problem seems to be intermitent. But Starry Night Pro drives the scope fine. I have just been closing and then re-starting the Sat-Tracker program which...
Hi all, I'm just looking for an update on the status of NexStar GPS continuous tracking. I downloaded the beta, 2.3.7, and have gotten used to the controls....
I sure hope you can help with the testing. I am hoping that the smooth/continuous tracking can be validated in time to buy one before the eyepiece offer...
Not yet. I'm waiting for variable rate tracking to be implemented in the Meade Autostar firmware. Unfortunately, my LX200GPS is going back to Meade for repair...
I finally got some 'hands-on' testing with a NexStar GPS. I've worked out the bugs of the former beta version and it now works very well (no more 'lock-ups' or...
I am a new user of Satellite tracker. I have successfully installed the program, but cant get the tle files to successfully download in the program. Am I...
Downloading tle files is a purely manual process. Go to one of the sites linked from the tle links page of sat tracker's home page and download a file just as...
Hello John, I am doing exactly what you have outlined. When I click on the hightlighted tle file in my lxsat folder and hit open, nothing shows - no...
Mike, When you have successfully loaded the file, you should see in the "Select object" frame, two lines under the "Refresh list" button the total number of ...
I knew I should have kept going...<g> Once you've got the file loaded, click "batch predict". This will find satellites visible soon. There are a few...
This is the first time I've seen the "select objects" frame explained. For short-term use it sounds easier than the batch predict process. I see that objects...
Hello John, Thank you! Thankyou! Thank you!.....just as you explained it to the letter! Now, to get it back out in my observatory, download fresh tle files...
