Rob, the other thing to check on your scope is the "HIGHER" setting in the "OBJECT LIBRARY" menu and under "PARAMETERS". Set it back to 0 if its not. Brent ......
Thanks Brent.. I just noticed something else. My UTC Offset was set to 5 not -5 for here in Central U.S. I'm assuming that may be the problem... Not sure...
It should be 5 for the scope, and -5 for the software. Meade was a bit screwy on their conventions for the classic, reversed from standard conventions to make...
I would suggest message 2014. Milton Gentry from a little north from me took some great shots of Discovery after undocking. A link ot his website is: ...
Hello all, I have been using this program now off and on for a couple of years or so. My track record isnt the great though and would like to get a little...

Hi No matter how I try I cannot get anything to come up in the batch predictions box. Everything else seems to work fine. I am using a meade LXD75 mount with...
Hi Tj, Sorry, I do not have experience with the Autostar tracking. I would suggest the widest eyepiece that you have. Also trying looking through the finder...
Kevin, In Satellite Tracker, try clicking "Reset Filters" and "Refresh List" so you have the full list of satellites. Then select the satellite you see in SNP...
Hi Bob, After you click the "Calculate" button, do you see text right under the button, such as "Calculated 218 of 218 Objects"? Make sure you have at least...
Brent, thanks for the reply. I do use the finder to see if i spot it in there first. My main question is when using batch prediction, which setting are best...
... Many of the sats in the visual file will be low alt. You can go ahead and check all three, but for a given size sat, the higher ones will naturally be ...
Make sure you have at least one of the "low/medium/high altitude" boxes selected. This threw me the first time because I thought it was exclusive- ie, that...
Hello, I just saw a bright satellite passing almost overhead. About 80 degrees North at max. It was traveling from West to East. It was unusual because it was...
Hi Brent and John Thanks for the quick replies Yes I have tried ticking one box right up to all of the boxes with no result The thing which seems strange is...

Hi everyone Just cam across this software and group. I have polar mounted LX200 14" GPS and was intrigued on how this all works. It implies that the software...
David, When tracking with the software you do not use the autostar buttons, you make adjustments with the program. It is important that you have a very good...
I have a pre-gps LX200, but I personally like to use a joystick to adjust the scope through the program. Just click the "Joystick Adjust" check box and then...
... In fact, the Autostar has this ability on its own (read the manual), but it has many limitations. Brent's software makes it a lot easier to do this. ... ...
David, The only thing I have to add is .... location ..... location .... location (no I'm not in real estate). Make sure your time zone and location (in the US...

David, You can get the joystick from any computer store. I purchased my game controller from CompUSA for about $15. It is a typical game controller that looks...
... That should be one of the best methods. I think Brent even added a feature to set the computer time to the scope's GPS time. ... Not for the scope- for...
