Hi, I have managed to track several satellites, with good success, but so far, everything just looks like a point of light. Up here in Alaska, the ISS is just...
Hi, I have just started a new group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astroprogramming/ It is to discuss specific issues on programming telescope interfaces. I...
Tom, The only image that Phil and I have managed to resolve apart from ISS is Envisat. Since it is in a polar orbit I guess you'd have a chance at that. Images...
Mike, Thanks! Yes, since its in polar orbit, I will definately have a chance. It will give me something to shoot for anyway. Thanks again, and Clear Skies. ...
With the release of AutostarII firmware v1.5c, I've been working on a continuous tracking interface for the LX200GPS. Tonight was the first 'real-life' test....
I've never tried to use satellite tracker. I've got an 8"LX200GPS. What will I get with 1.4? (1.5 is loaded with problems) I mean, will the satellite not...
Hello all, Last night I set up the sat tracker for the first time. I found that while tracking it jumoed or shaked every 1/2 sec and then continued on its...
Hi Omer, This seems to be a firmware issue with the NexStarGPS scopes. Everytime the slew rates are updated, it does a little 'hiccup'. I spoke with Celestron...
Hello Brent, First may I say what a great program youve written. It wasw very exciting to use along with my scope. This after noon I paid for the software so I...
This is only happens with the NexStarGPS but none (meade or celestron) are going to be rock steady. A Vice-president from Celestron emailed me directly about...
Hi Brent, I think this a common problem with fork type mounts. The stepper motors normally work one motor at a time. If you have PEC I believe it would clear...
Hi Jim, We are talking about tracking satellites with relatively fast slew rates, not sidereal tracking a celestial object. Also satellites move in all sorts ...
Hi Brent, Thanks.I knew when I had my LX200 10 it stop and reverse itself then continue a wedge would pervent that. With my SSK2000 when I'm tracking...
It is now. Only 'leap frog' style of tracking though. Brent ... From: "Rousselot Jean" <jrousselot@...> To: <satellitetracker@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
One advantage of using a wedge is the scope does not have to slew as fast on a high altitude pass. With Alt/Az the azimuth axis really has to 'wind-out' when...
Brent, are you looking for a firmware upgrade for the motor controllers or for the hand controller for this fix from Celestron? Or have they let you know any...
Hello Brent, Thanks. A question: what is the difference for your software between a GPS scope (Meade/Celestron) and a non-GPS scope (Meade-Celestron) if the...
Hello Brent, Thanks. A question: what is the difference for your software between a GPS scope (Meade/Celestron) and a non-GPS scope (Meade-Celestron) if the...
I don't know for sure. They suggested that it would be done with the pending internet upload feature. Will it update the motor controller or the hand ...
Both Meade and Celestron GPS scopes has a new RS232 command for setting the slew rate for either axis to an exact rate. For example, I can tell the scope to...
Doesn't autostar already have the ability to track satellites by itself (scope included of course, but no external computer needed, except to download orbital...
The new update will be a MC update...will be downloadable from the internet. It will be able to update any MC version 3.0 and newer to the latest version. I...
Got "first light" with my Satellite Tracker software on my Celestron 11" GPS last night. Worked flawlessly....very smooth tracking and the find command allowed...
I have a Nexstar 11 GPS with hand controller 2.2 and motor controller 3.0. With these versions, can I get continuous tracking with Satellite Tracker or only...
Chris, My guess is that it will NOT work for continuous tracking. I think you do need MC v4.1 or higher. Brent ... From: "cmaterno" <cmaternowski@...> ...
I am experiencing a problem with ST whereby it deletes the viewing plan and I have to reconstruct it using the batch predict feature. This happens if I click...
