I am considering developing an Earth Orbiting Satellite Observation Club II program for the Astronomical League and would like to get a read on the level of...
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...
Look here http://www.nlsa.com/ Nova for Windows has become the most popular Windows-based satellite tracking program in the world. ... draw and model earth,...
... I would say this is HIGHLY questionable. I am actively involved in tracking satellites bother optically and by radio (see SeeSat and Hearsat news groups )...
Greg and all I must agree with Greg, Orbitron and Heavensat seems to me to be as good as the Nova software.Nova is a little more splashy with the graphics than...
I agree with Greg, though my choices are not the same as his. However, I think the original meaning of the first message in the thread, possibly also the...
It's hard to view both satellites and planets/asteroids/comets in the same 3D view, because the scale is so different. For planets/asteroids/comets, I use...
I swapped my old Toshiba Satellite for a faster model, but things have gone haywire. My new laptop is a Dell Latitude D400 with a Centrino cpu. Anyway,...
Are you using a USB/serial adater on the new laptop that you weren't using before? Some brands of those have been known to be very problematic for scope use. ...
Hello John, Thanks for your reply. I'm connected straight into the laptop's serial port. Having now read some earlier posts, it seems that Dell laptops can be...
I've experienced wayward problems as well but never seem to fully figure out the problem. I've been connecting via the Starry Night Blue Star Wireless...
Hello Brian, Do you have a DEll or another brand? Jack ... figure out the problem. I've been connecting via the Starry Night Blue Star Wireless Bluetooth...
I was using an HP model laptop. I actually gave up trying for a solution but have faith that it will eventually be solved. I'm contemplating trying to run it...
I've been fooling around with Satellite Tracker, off and on, debating whether to spring for it or not. I want to, really I do... if only I could get that...
I had EXACTLY the same experience tonight on both satellites. Thought I'd screwed up something. Not a clue what's happening. Jim **************Ideas to...
I had a similar experience with tracking the ISS (2-16-08 6:39.21pm PST). I tracked 3 satellites before going for the ISS, fine tuning the timing over 3...
I get my USA 193 from Heavens Above. _http://www.heavens-above.com_ (http://www.heavens-above.com) Choose "Select a satellite from the database", then enter...
The shuttle is currently docked at the ISS. They sometimes use the shuttle engines to boost the ISS orbit, so a tle can become outdated quickly. Similarly,...
Hello Pete, I have an LX200 Classic so no GPS assistance, but I managed to get the ISS on a webcam chip at my very first attempt. Of course, it's all in the...
An accurate scope alignment is of course essential. If tracking ISS, the most recent TLE file should be used. The "T+Epoch" value in the "Object Data" section...
... But for objects that aren't at stellar distances, those RA-dec coordinates _will_ depend on your ground coordinates, especially for an LEO object, so don't...
In my case I had done a three star alignment, and while waiting for USA 193 and ISS to clear the horizon (their tracks were within minutes of each other over...
... The scope is polar mounted, semi-permanently, and its go-tos are accurate enough to locate bright stars in the daytime. So there's no issue there. Pete...
Just for grins I went back this morning and got the latest TLEs for visible satellites from Space Track. The TLEs for ISS have changed since yesterday. ...

Anyone used Satellite Tracker with a MI-250 mount. I tried it with mine a year or so ago and could only get leap frog to work. I'm currently using the program...
Hi, Does anyone have any experience using SatTrack with a Celestron Nexstar SE scope? I have a Nexstar 5i and am considering a Nextsar 6SE. Just dont want to...
