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 ...
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...
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...
Brent, For years I have used (and helped develop/test) Mel Bartel's scope.exe software for running a mount with stepper motors. It responds to LX200 commands...

First, a geosynchronous satellite (or anything close to it) would have moved 2 hours of RA relative to the stars during your 2 hours of exposure time. And if...
John, Thanks for looking. To be honest I have no idea what it is ! I have turned the entire 60 frames into a movie but it is 90mb in size , which is why I only...
Asteroid? Whatever it is, it is quite intriguing. I dont think any geosynchronous satellites are in the constellation andromeda, those should be closer to the...
