Yes, I have seen it:) I got video of it http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/040206/16908.wmv Another one to see, while it flashing is the recently launched zenit 2...
I just installed firefox on my computer. I see it doesn't seem to download the video, then play it. It something to do with firefox, looks like a add on to...
The flashing satellites are nice; I just started to make a list of them. EGP was the first one I saw a year ago, and still one of the best. When I found...
Kevin, What are you usng to imprint the time on your video? n I have been looking for something like that for lunar grazes, occultations, and such..........
I haven't seen that one yet, but after seeing several "normal" tumblers over the last few years, I saw one last night that didn't seem to be tumbling, but ...
I just installed firefox a few weeks ago, and it works fine here. It opened the file in windows media player. And I'm a bonehead on computers so I didn't do...
I'm new to Satellite Tracker. I would like to install on both my laptop to take out to the observatory, and my desktop for planning purposes. 1) Is this...
I'm using the LX200GPS interface in Alt-Az mode. I see that if I switch to LX200(not GPS) interface it is now a selectable option. What are the pro & cons of...
... The two scopes use very different tracking methods. While (I'm pretty sure) the GPS would understand the commands if you used the classic method, it ...
Simple question: is there a way to turn off the LX200 Classic GOTO "beep" when satellite tracking? The beeps occur as such a fast rate that it sounds like a...
No, only the brute-force method- open the case and disconnect the beeper. Brent used to have a page on his site showing how he installed a switch to turn it...
I have been using this program for some time now and really enjoy it! I do have a question though, something that I have to normally deal with, but figured I...
Please come join us this Thursday at 7pm for a training seminar on how to repair stars in Photoshop. This class will be taught by Matt Taylor. One of the...
... Actually, time has very little effect upon GoTo quality, try mis-setting your Autostar clock by 5 or ten minutes and (except for the initial alignment...
Wow! Great explanation! It makes sense to me now. The last time out I would look for one much earlier and would hit maybe 1 or 2 out of 10. But, it makes...
One obvious difference is that autostar doesn't bother to determine whether a sat is lit by the sun or in the earth's shadow, so autostar's AOS can be several...
Thanks for the info! So, right now the AOS is set to default 5 degrees or whatever. If I set it to 15 degrees, does this mean my scope will pick up the...
... Yes, if you set the "Minimum AOS" to 15, that's where the Autostar will start. I have a fairly clear western horizon, so i leave it at 5... but i know that...
... Yes, although another consideration is that the sattellite's angular rate is slower when it's lower, so it can be easier to catch then. I've got the limit...
... Is that an autostar setting (or something from one of your patches)? We were talking about the AOS/LOS alt limit in Satellite Tracker. Since I'm new to ...
John, that is exactly what my question was going to be. Sat tracker allows AOS/LOS degrees, but havent seen anything in autostar. Will autostar know to pick...
... "Min. AOS" is an Autostar setting, under the Setup/Telescope menu. It does not require a patch. ... Understood, but the information ("start higher") is...
yes, I am using the internal sat tracking, but with a viewing plan made by this great software. After you mentioned that, i can clearly see where it is says...
... You must be talking about the "mount lower limit", designed to keep the OTA from crashing into things. This limit would presumably have the same effect as...
