I just purchased the Satellite Tracker software and I own a Celestron NexStar 5i telescope which I was planning to use with this software. While reading the...
Jeff, have a look at Utility Features / Version on page 29 in your manual or in your scope menu - Menu - Utilities - Version That numbers should be firmware...
Brent, Would you please elaborate on your statement (below)? I may get one or the other soon. I had a classic LX200 for 3 years and the only thing I didn't...
Hi Brad, I think the classic LX200 tracks satellites much better than the LX200GPS using satellite tracker. I'm hoping Meade continues to improve the software...
Hi brent and group. I finally got a nexstar 11 gps. I downdoaded the trial version of sat tracker and installed it. Very impressive! Downloaded the latest TLE...
Hi Keith, all I have exactly the same problem with my 10" LX200 GPS and found no fix. My request for help did not get a responce - somewhat disapoinitng. Paul ...
Hi Keith, I have had this problem reported several times and it seems to be related to USB/RS232 convertors. Unfortunately, I have never been able to reproduce...
Paul, I am sorry, if I missed your request for help. Email me directly if you still have issues you want discussed. I do the best I can but know I have...
I would like to suggest a shorter tag in the headline, for example [sattrack] instead of [satellitetracker] In my mailprogram most of the column width are used...

this will cause many issues and headache with the current mail delivery rules in place on so many users machines!! Don...
Yes I do have another brand of converter. I was using a brand name USB converter. It is a Micro Innovations. I have the unnamed generic USB to RS232 converter...
I have it downloaded and want to use it. If others already have please let me know how you like it and what settings have worked well for you. Thansk Bob...
... I use the program on the 11GPS in alt/az. It works quite well. I'm trying to recall if there is anything special I've done with the settings, and, I...
http://public.fotki.com/nexstarman/international_space/issjuly11.html Yes, please have a look! Although this image is with an N8GPS, not the 11 inch, the ...
The USB-RS232 converter that comes with NexRemote software works well for me. Saved my bacon since my serial port stopped working. It gives me slight pause...
I need some help here! This is the second night out with the program. Last night I was frustrated with no luck, but tonight was much better. I was able to get...
I tried an old 100Mhz 486 and it didn't work- the same symptoms you're seeing. It works fine on a 200Mhz Pentium pro. Both computers were using Win 98. -John ...
Ok, tried another much faster laptop, and everything worked. Thanks for the advice! Now, can I get some help on locking on a satellite target. In leap frog...
Bryan, Personally, I like the joystick control. To help center the satellite you should use the most current orbital elements available and use an atomic clock...
The two adjustments, timing offset and alignment adjustment, let you fine-tune the tracking in two perpendicular directions. The biggest difficulty in tracking...
Accuracy, that is the key word! I made sure my scope alignment was dead on, my laptop not only had the latest daily TLE's but also had the correct time via an...
Hi, I've noticed a little differences between the time forecasted by SatelliteTracker and HeavensAbove's Web Application. With the exact same coordinates and...
As you get more "accurate", you should really see just how much the joystick helps. When I look at the ISS I will start with a 26mm or 40mm . I then quickly...
SatTracker does all passes, Heavens Above only shows passes that are not in the "shadow". I've actually tracked the ISS during the day! (watch out for the...
... I'm not sure about the GPS models, but on the "classic" LX200, you should not adjust the dec knob when the scope is powered up. It's part of the gear...
I think this depends on what altitude you set for the "start time". Since a statellite is not very visible when low on the horizon, Sat Tracker allows you to...
Good observation John, about start time. Yes, the subtle differences in the TLE file can make a difference. ISS is low flying and has a lot of drag which leads...
