Hi Brent, Thanks for the tip on T+epoch - I'd missed this feature! It would still be useful to have the date decoded on the other page though as sometimes...
Finally after several frustrating nights of equipment problems we got some decent video footage tonight of the early evening ISS pass. We should have also had...

How accurate was you Lat/long setting? What version of Sattracker are you using? I set up Alt/Az most of the time. Set Lat/long and time via GPS. Did you have...
... Perhaps try looking for just visible satellites to begin with? Get the list of >3.5mag from www.heavens-above.com so at least you will be able to tell if...
The most common problem I see is incorrect location settings. Note that the longitude entry is East so any longitude in North America is a negative value. It...

to Mike, Phil, very impressive pictures you have taken. Especially the picture of the 15th is great. I have never seen a so clear image of the canada-arm. As I...
