We had the ISS directly overhead last night for a .8 bright overflight. It was spectacular ! What really blew me away was how well Satellite Tracker did. I...
Hi`Rob, Glad to hear of your success. What version of Autostar firmware are you currently using? Brent ... This message was sent using IMP, the Internet...
Brent, Could you please give us an update regarding your tentative plans to work with Renee' to provide continuous smooth tracking with the G-11/Gemini?...
I can't say offhand, but the scope is only four months old and I did a firmware upload about a month ago. I'll make a note of it when I fire it up tonight....
A few years ago Jupiter and Saturn were near each other in the sky, and rising around sunset in late summer. At a major league baseball game, during a break...
You will not need the night vision lens. Don't forgot ISS is being lit with full sunlight so proper exposure for it would be similiar to daylight hours. Brent ...
Rich, I'm sorry, no more progress has been made to date. I will try. Brent ... to work with Renee' to provide continuous smooth tracking with the G- 11/Gemini?...
Right, I'll save the night vision idea for dimmer objects. I'm going to try mounting my Canon XL1S to the Losmandy dovetail plate on top of the LX200 tonight...
Yeah but, the night vision lens does sound like fun. I have a Canon G-1 camcorder, now you got me thinking.. B. ... This message was sent using IMP, the...
To anyone out there .... While I have not checked with Brent's program (it's too far out for Heaven's Above still.... ), I understand that the next spacewalk...
Not that I know of, but a few months ago a saw a zenith pass that was so smooth and clear that I think I would have been able to see the astronauts if there...
John, While I am only still looking vs taking pictures, there have been several passes where the detail was so sharp, that I am also sure I could have seen...
Hi All, After many years of waiting, I bought a new laptop so I can finally get ST working for me. However, before I do, I have 3 newbie questions: I have a...
It's been a while since I used mine but I'll have a go at answering your questions in case everyone else is otherwise occupied..... ... Very smooth. My LX200...
I use an LX200 10" classic as well. I'd start out using the "leap frog" at first then slowly get used to adjusting the movements and then move to "continuous...
... Leap frog is, by definition, not smooth or continuous. It's only there for scopes that can't handle continuous. But the LX200 will do fine with ...
Brent, Since no one has developed (as far as I know) a LX200 satellite tracking system that can track objects that appear in the night sky for which there are...
The LX200 does not support variable tracking rates suitable for satellite tracking. I do essentially achieve it by a rapid sequence of "goto" commands, about...
What are you planning to use to determine where to aim, if not a TLE? -John ... _________________________________________________________________ MSN Toolbar...
Hi group, weeks ago 02 de May de 2004 a las 04:46 TU (00:46 am, Chile) From Santiago of Chile, a friend was taking videos with camara Toucam pro with...
It looks to me as though a bird flew through the field of view. Kevin Wigell www.kwastronomy.com ... From: "Mauricio López Escobar" <tiomagui@...> To:...
... John- I would like to use motion tracking software that will be able to detect moving points of light even a few pixels in size in a normal CCD camcorder...
I think it's more likely a flying insect. Birds seen that small against the moon are far enough away to be in focus, and exposure time for the moon with a...
John y Kevin, thanks for its opinion, I have the still doubt. Atte. Mauricio López Escobar Licenciado en Medicina Veterinaria Santiago de Chile 33°27´10"...
Only the International Space Station is large enough to appear as much more than a point, even in a telescope. I don't know how accurate it would be to use...
It will only do leap-frog tracking with the LX90, however the built-in tracking of the LX90 will do continuous. My choice would be a LX200. I liked mine better...
