Hello group. I have just joined and I was wondering if anyone is using Mel Bartels Scope-drive program with an EQ mount. I know that I can run a second laptop...

I was wondering if anyone has a good website to look at that has info. on capturing satellite radio frequncies. I have a satellite that I want to analyze data...
Good afternoon Your question is a little vague so not exactly sure what you want or hope to do. I track satellites on frequencies up to S-band (2.2-2.3 Ghz). I...
... Two items: (a) doppler... if your satellite is earth-orbiting, you need (well, "may want") to adjust the receiver's frequency during a pass to counteract...

Hi Martin, Does your version of Mel's program exactly emulate the LX200 GPS calls? If it does then it should communicate with Satellite Tracker. Chuck Singbiel...
Hi I am a new member. I maintain a web site The Astronomy Webcam Paradise since 1998 ( http://sweiller.free.fr ). I am trying this software in order to do some...

Hi to ALL! I want to buy a new telescope. Will the 10" LX200R GPS work with this satellitetracker software for ISS video work. I am not taking about hand...
At the local observatory we recently upgraded from an LX200 classic to an LX200R. From my own experience and from other discussions here I think you're better...
... It will work, but not that well. You're better off with the scope's built-in sat tracking feature. See the message I just posted a few minutes ago in...
Hi John, Thanks for your message ! My 12" LX200 GPS just had an electrical failure shortly after my last message (nothing posted on autostarII after turning...
... Opinions may differ... i find SatelliteTracker does a much -better- job than the LX200R's in-built programming. I will post a longer version of that...
... Try using the -real- handbox slew keys to tweak the positions, even when being commanded by SatTrack... do -not- change the speeds, since SatTrack's...
... I remember trying that early on but I wasn't sure how it would interact with SatTracker's operation, so I didn't experiment too far. I'll definitely try...
Lag may not be an issue here as Brent's program computes for the current coordinates for the satellite and does a realtime comparison with the mount's...

Not possible, since it's not orbiting earth. -John ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing....
I agree, but I intend to try to generate a pseudo-TLE by reducing the XYZ and vx,vy,vz from my location proportionally to make the speed below escape speed,...
I got the idea to compensate partially for parallax by using a night's predicted topocentric RA/Dec in the orbit correction program ELCOR/ElObsEnt. Also I had...
This object really isn't going to be moving very fast, so if you're going to try that hard, I think I would just get an ephemeris from the MPC or your favorite...

Hi every one i have a question. i want to know is there software that we can draw and model earth, satellite orbits, and planets around it graphically. i want...
