I am not sure what's causing it, but I notice that the time displayed in satellite tracker, lags the real time by 1 second. Is it just me, are do others notice...
Anyone used sat tracker with this scope? Its a brand new model, I tried last night and it made the scope slew repeatedly in a fast square shaped pattern....
hello all, My software up til now has been perfectly accurate, but for some reason it is now out of kilter with the nasa realtime tracking website (...
Hi Martin, I see from your screen shot that the "T+Epoch" value is 74 days. Your TLE file is very outdated. For ISS you should be getting a new file almost...

Brent, ok - for some reason I can't ( and still can't ) dl the latest full_catalog.tle - not sure why - is there a log of what satellite tracker is doing...
Brent, Please can you tell me ( privately or in response to this ) the ftp location that satellitetracker gets the TLE from please? When I try to d/l the full...
When I first acquired my Orion Atlas-G, it had the V2.05 controller which emulated Nexstar 5/8. With Satellite Tracker, it tracked in leap-frog mode. Now I...
Thanks, Marcus. I'm stumped at trouble shooting, or getting it to work. Unfortunate, because the mount is working out quite well, otherwise. Jim In a...
The NextStarGPS interface uses the variable slew rate command. Perhaps the emulation does not include that? If you want to trace to see what is happening, edit...
Satellite tracking is very tricky programming, esp continuous tracking. As you can appreciate, if a satellite is moving across the sky at 3 deg/sec and there...
Thanks, Brent. That's what I was looking for. I'll fool around with it next weekend. Jim In a message dated 10/15/06 4:22:58 AM US Mountain Standard Time, ...
Hi, Brent, Understand completely. I'll see how the trace suggestion works. Thanks for the help. Jim In a message dated 10/15/06 4:32:23 AM US Mountain...

Hi Brent, I would like to use a USB 10 keypad to adjust the timing offset adjustments (+/-) and Alignment Adj (up/down). I could use a keyboard macro program...
I'm the author of the ASCOM driver for the Celestron scopes. This implements the MoveAxis commands which in theory should work to track satellites. Brent's...
If the mouse works but is not convenient when looking through the scope, there are handheld mouses (mice?) available. Basically a pistol grip with a ...

Hi Martin, Sorry I missed your last message. The script ftps the file to your computer with the name temp.tle.gz. It then tries to unzip the file, using gzip...
Hello! I've just downloaded the software, and I'm anxious to use it. Must I fill out the DOD documents at space-track to get the TLE's? Or is registering for...
JR, Just create a new user account, when you receive your confirmation you will need to log into space-track and change your password. Once this is done just...
Hi, Brent, I thought I'd revisit this topic with some recent news. A user interface alternative to the standard hand controller has been developed by a team of...
I was wanting to know how the mouse control works. How is it to be used. When I tried it the scope started to go all over the place. Didn't really know how to...
Thanks, Brent! There's a small cadre out here that loves Satellite Tracker but don't use a mount that emulates an LX200. As best I can, I'll keep you informed...
Me again with this annoying problem. Why oh why won't the laptop operate this excellent program? There is nothing extra on the laptop, it is practically the...
