the Ngps11 won't track satellites, only leapfrog.What I found is that after slewing to a non-star object the scope would then just try to track it as a...
Tracking is done by setting RA/DEC coords and then a goto command. Because of the time it takes the NexStar to 'settle in' on the coords after a goto command...
Mike, Would it be possible to image RADARSAT (NORAD #23710). I have designed its payload computer telemetry/telecommand interface card, but never managed to...
Daniel A quick check on Heavens Above shows many good passes but a minimum distance around 800km. If it's 45 feet across this means only 3.5 arcsec at that...

Hi Ulrich, we tried the FS2. "The Sky" (AstroProgram) works, but Sattracker doesn't. I don't know why, but I think there are some Meade-commands that do not...
Tobias, Did you try it with the interface setting on "LX200 Compatible" as opposed to "LX200" in Satellite Tracker? In this mode Satellite Tracker only uses...
Brent, the "LX200 Compatible" does not work, so I will try to follow you instructions. Is the output.txt created automaticly, or should I adjust something in...
