You can try a beta version of the next release (2.3.1) of Satellite Tracker at http://www.heavenscape.com/sat231b.zip It includes an ISS monitor, a screen...
Brent I unzipped the new 2.3.1 to my LXSAT folder and when I launch the world map selection button I get Map4 is missing or corrupted. I have verified that it...
Stephen, What is the size of your map4.dat file? Should be around 81kb. How are you starting the program? The shortcut's 'start in' parameter should be...
Brent I verified that under the properties of Map4.dat file it shows a file size of 0 bytes. This is extremely odd as all files in the 2.3.1 were unzipped to...
Brent I went ahead and deleted the 0 byte Map4.dat file in the lxsat folder and then re-unzipped 2.3.1. The zip file did not replace the Map4.dat file and I...
Brent Thank you. That solved the problem. Not sure why SAT was working before the update and then immediately after I was getting the error message but your...
I have successfully downloaded it. There is no "ReadMe" file showing changes and what I may have to test? Thanks Ray At 07:27 PM 12/4/01 +0000, you wrote: Ray,...
Love the program! It works great on my 10in LX200. I've tried to go to the extreme using my 3x barlow on the ISS. Keeping the satellite in the FOV is...
So far Phil and I have managed ISS/shuttle images on the 9th, 10th, 12th and 14th - the weather for once has co-operated. We are very much hoping that the...
Brent, As you know we are now regularly using the mouse adjust routine rather than joystick. The fixes you made the other month have made all the difference! ...
Brent, Mike, Phil, now we can use the mouse adjust too, because we installed a diagonal at the finder which makes it much easier to use the mouse adjust in...
Tobias, Yes the shuttle angle has been strange on some of the passes - we expected excellent pictures on the 12th but could hardly see the shuttle. Our initial...
Tobias, When we observed the pass on the 12th of Decmeber the ISS and Shuttle were in a special flight orientation for the re-boost. This means that the ...
Hi, Had a real success tonight with first the shuttle and then ISS giving 60deg passes over Manchester. There was cloud right up to a few minutes before the...
Hello Mike, Phil,Tobias. Congratulation to your new videos, especially the one including the Shuttle without the ISS ! Can't wait to see the pictures. Before...
We've now posted our first stills and animations of the ISS/shuttle combination from the 9th, 10th and 14th of Dec. We had so many clear nights in a row that...
Mike, Phil, very good pictures you have taken. Especially the image from 14th has very many details. I think it is the best I have ever seen. There are some...
Tobias, That's great that you have enough frames for an animation - look forward to seeing it. We still have a lot of work to do on the still images - trying ...
Mike, I'm interested in attempting to take some photos like yours. I have the software and the telescope, but have never owned a video camera. What is the...
Bill, In theory any brand/type of video camera will work - some people use web cams, however, the ability to be able to zoom the camera during tracking of the...
Thanks Mike, I remember one picture from your site where you show the whole setup. However, it is not close enough to demonstrate how the camera is held in...
Hi, Obtained fantastic pictures last night of a surprising object! Pictures are at:- http://freespace.virgin.net/philip.masding/ISSViewerFrames.htm ...
hi Mike, Phil very sharp pictures of this little and faint object. I think you can see details up to a view inches. I have heard from this satellite, but never...
Mike, Phil, Tobias Have you tried to video capture any other targets? HST, Terra, UARS, Seasat Terra is polar so should be good passes about 37ft long with...
Ray, Thanks for your suggested targets - we'll certainly try and give them a try (apart from HST which does not come over the UK). I did ask a similar question...
