... Yes, I can pick up an ephemeris but can this be used in Satellite Tracker? Form what I can see TLEs will only work for objects in elliptical orbits because...
Satellite Tracker version 2.4.6b (with the TLE download from Space-Track.org feature) is now available for download at http://www.heavenscape.com Brent...
Many THANKS Brent for that update which must have been a lot of work. It sure makes it easy to use Satellite Tracker with the recent changes to tle data...

The computer can be very old/slow. I used SatTracker for over a year on an old 200MHz "Pentium Pro" with no problem. In fact, older might be better because it...
Hi Andy, Actual tracking itself does not require a lot of processing power from the PC. It depends what is acceptable to you when "batch" calculating passes on...
I have Satellite Tracker, and it is very nice for tracking earth-orbiting objects - I haven't been able to take much advantage of it yet because of the...
I would think that the accuracy required for comet and asteroid tracking would require a fairly high-end mount. You'll probably discover that if you have the...
But comets and asteroids usually move very slowly, so this isn't as hard as it sounds. For example, on the LX200 classic, the PEC is normally applied to the...
To be more specific, I have a NexStar GPS 11, currently in Alt-Az mode; I won't be going to Eq. mode anytime in the near future. Since my scope, using Brent's...
Hi "Dodge" Your message about software for tracking comets and asteroids refers. As Brent states his program is designed purely for the tracking of earth...
Satellites move across the sky pretty quickly, whereas comets and asteriods for the most part don't. Skymap Pro (for which there is another Yahoo group) does a...
But does it actually track the object? In a 1 minute exposure, a close asteroid or comet can easily drift enough to blur the image. Most any charting software...
Hi Chris, I'm cross-posting this as I don't know the answer though I would guess its 'no'; will Skymap Pro track a comet/asteroid rather than setting a...
Skymap Pro will position a 'scope on an object but not track it. The object will have to be moving quickly in RA/Dec for you to not be able to track it...
Howdy Brent, It's been a while since I last used the program, but I was surprised to see that TLE's seem to be harder to obtain. Could you let me know where I...
First let me compliment Brent Boshart on a fine piece of software. Rarely have I encountered a program so intuitive. All the main information is gathered on...
There are plenty of programs that will plot satellites on the sky. Those would probably be better to use for this purpose than Satellite Tracker. Just find...
Yeah, I know, there are a lot of astro software packages out there. I've got 3 planetariums, and 2 observation-planners, and 2 satellite- finders on my laptop....
