Hi, I tried tracking the ISS and other satellites tonight for the first time and found something unusual, with some satellites the satellite seems to wonder...
Are you using the "FIND" button? this will speed up and slow down the drive motors to "find" the satellite? Why are you using an old version of sat-tracker? ...
It's not unusual to see some drift- that's especially true for very low (high angular speed) objects like the ISS. You can try adjusting the "tracking factor"...
Hi, I'm only using this version as I downloaded it years ago, does the newest version track satellites better ? I'll try out the suggestions and see how it...
What imaging device and shutter speed were you trying? Mike _____ From: satellitetracker@yahoogroups.com [mailto:satellitetracker@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
Here is an opensource ASCOM connector for the satellite tracker which we are using for the eqmod project. http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/eqmodlx/ This is an...
Hi Brent and all, I am trying to track ISS during partial cloudy weather with my LX200GPS. I have Dick's patch version in which the telescope starts tracking...
I have Satellite Tracker up and running on a MacMini using CodeWeaver CrossOver Mac. http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ without Windoze Screen snap at ...
Hi, I would think you would use either Sat Tracker OR the AutostarII but not both at the same time. Once Sat Tracker is talking to the scope, I dont touch the ...
Oz, I just managed for the first time in my life to see the ISS visually through the eyepiece !! (one hour before sunset, and with partial cloudy sky!!). What...
Mon, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I downloaded the files in your link, and followed your excellent instructions for installing and setting things up, and it...
At our local public observatory we just upgraded from a 12" LX200 classic to a 16" LX200R, so after a few years of using Satellite Tracker very successfully ...
... I think he's referring to the 5-10 second delay mentioned in the notes in the scope interface options, when you select "LX200GPS". This is a delay when...
... I don't see why, but then I have no experience with the Sitech drive system. ... Not necessarily. ... Right. ... Details vary, depending on the drive...
Hi John Thanks for the answers. No surprises.... The Sitech ASCOM driver allows you to set the criteria for going past the meridian before the mount gets...
Thank you Chuck. The ASCOM connector was made available as an opensource early part of this year. It was initially tested on a EQ6 mount which can only do...
Hi Mon! Can't wait for the clouds to clear up a bit here and see what my 1st light expeciences will be!!! GREAT Job!!! Cheers! Chuck ... From: sarmientomon To:...
Thanks Chuck. Just make sure the Satellite Tracker is In LX200GPS Polar mode. It will not work in other modes. There is no routine to trap that yet. And as...
Hello from the UK, This is my first post so please be tolerent! When setting up my LZ200 classic, I am entering my location using coordinates derived from...
Your location accuracy is not important for actual tracking, just the AOS and LOS predictions as well as the predictions for maximum elevation etc. Brent ... ...
Hi All, What is the max baud rate that can be used with an LX200GPS? I'm able to connect and slew my scope at 57K using the Meade AutoStar Control window....
Hello! I'm newly registered with the Heavenscape software and now starting the long process of learning how to successfully track and photograph passing...
Tom, I don't know which times you mean, but Heavensabove gives timings starting from altitudes at 10 degrees in the big overview table. If you click on one of...
This evening I had my trusty old rebuilt Starliner GEM out here in Houston in the mostly (but not 100%) clouds to try out Mon's ASCOM-to-LX200 connector for...
Oh Duh! Yeah, I see now. I guess it would take a few seconds to go from zero to 10 degrees. I'll look closer, but I know you are correct now that I think of...
Nice! I just registered my software, but just need a clear night with some space goodies passing over and I'll start climbing the learning curve myself. :-) ...
... That's probably not the reason. When a sat is low on the horizon, the angular speed is very slow, so it would take a lot more than 10 seconds to go 10 ...
