Hi, I am new in this group. I am evaluating Satellite Tracker. Can anyone explayne me the right"flow" to track a satellite. How to synchronize the telescope...
I am not an expert... in fact i have not even successfully tracked a
satellite. I was very close to the ISS... I believe the error was from
lon/lat being off....

I too am a lurker. (Is this becoming Lurker Confessions?) One comment: ISS is a bad place to start. It moves too fast, and its so low the drag induced...
Well, Perhaps I need to justify my position. I just joined the group about 2 weeks age... all has been quiet in the group
for that time... I saw a question...
Thanks Brent-- Sometimes I'm too lazy to drag out the scope and step out with my binos instead. Guess I'll just keep picking the brains of the good folks over...
Actually Paul, there are bugs. There have been problems with using some USB-Serial adapters. Unfortunately, I am not able to duplicate the problems so its very...

Calculating magnitude is tricky beacuse most satellites have odd shapes, so it depends on the orientation during the pass. The Iridium flares are an obvious...
I've heard that there have been many problems with USB-serial adapters, at least for controlling an LX200, with many astro programs, so I don't think the...
Paul, I made a little BASIC program that uses the text file output (RA/dec at regular time increments) from Brent's program for input, and sends a string of...
Might be a dumb question, but how do you "unwind" the scope without loosing its allignment???? Do you need to keep aware of the hard stops and where the scope...
Yes, you can hit a hard stop when tracking. Unfortunately, the AutostarII will not prevent it just as you can hit a hard stop with the handcontroller. I...
Use the direction buttons on the keypad to "unwind". -John ... _________________________________________________________________ Say “good-bye” to spam,...
Several months back there were some questions on the group about the auto-tracking program which Phil Masding and I developed to image the ISS. The concept of...
What happened? anyone out there observing sats? Any good pictures or words of advice? I bought the software about a month ago, and have not yet tried it. Not...
I hear you, its been cold here too (Ontario, Canada). In the meantime, I've piggy-backed a refractor to my scope and attached a video cam, so I'm finally ready...

Just to liven things up, I have a question for you. Have you considered adding a feature to Satellite Tracker to allow it to control a dome? I know that...
Sorry, you will need this too. http://www.heavenscape.com/dome/object.txt Its a long story, not only will it track the dome fast enough for satellite tracking,...
What scope do you have? With a LX200 or LX200GPS you should be able to use Satellite Tracker and the Dome works at the same time using the dual port ...
Getting DDW to track the scope isn't a problem; DDW has that capability built into it in hardware and specifically supports slaving to an LX-200. The issue is...
Hi All. FYI. The LX-200 16" seems to have 2 versions. The Pre-GPS does not have a
functioning "MISC" port. I have confirmed this on 2 LX-200 16" and so has...
