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...
Hello, Chuck, You might want to check in on the EQMOD Yahoo group (_http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/EQMOD/_ (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/EQMOD/) )....
Hi Jim!! Yes, I had seen those e-mails in the archives, and Reymondo is on my "short list" to pick his brains!!! <grin> Many thanks!! Chuck ... From:...
Thanks for the reply, Chuck! Mon also sent me an email regarding the two of you hooking up. Nice to know. Jim [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hello all, Please see the very bottom of www.mgnastro.org/m31.html I think I have imaged a heavily inclined geostationary satellite with at least one visible...
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...
The fact that the larger of the two objects didn't actually look anything like a typical hot pixel did get my attention. But the motion is clearly not in a ...
Hi John, Worcester, UK is at: 52 11' 28" N 002 13' 21" W It is on the western side of England on the border with Wales. I am not saying that this is the...
Thanks Conrad - yes - there are certainly interesting vehicles flying over the fields by our house - my sons can now identify various gunships, Apaches,...
... No, the autoguider has nothing to do with this. The autoguider keeps the guidescope (actually, your main scope in this case) locked on a spot in the sky,...
Been watching this exchange, and the discussion of differential flex prompted me to ask if your averaging software keeps a "log" of how much each image had to...
Weirder and weirder... You're right- it's not a hot pixel. Assuming those are the full fits files as they came out of the camera, the object moves several...
John, I am waiting for some rings to attach my 135mm canon lens to my main scope, so this image was taken through my 135mm lens ( attached to my sxv-h9 ) which...
Thinking a little further, I have one more possibility: given the shape, and the zig-zag path, it was a Klingon warship practicing evasive maneuvers. Well,...
Complete with Lens, battery grip, IR remote control, 1.1/4" nose piece for astrophotography. Will ship world wide Current bid 350 Euro. Regards Astroguy...
When trying to track the ISS, should it be during a time it's visual to the eye? How many have had success tracking the ISS, it has to be real hard....
Brian, When the ISS is above the horizon, it can be tracked. I've tracked it when it's in Earth's shadow and even in the daytime (YOU NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY...
Hi folks, I'm George Huftalen from Warren RI, I've been tracking the ISS and other satellites for some time now with middling success, except for an event done...
