Ulrich, Congratulations on the fine pictures of the Stations. Especially with an ETX, those are impressive! (having tried manual tracking with a 8" LX200, I...
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...

Just manually edit the sat.ini file and add the line audit=1 I'm surprised that it doesn't work. Does it use long format coordinates? In regards to your dome,...

When operating my LX200 with SatelliteTracker trying to "Start Tracking" returns the error message, "Satellite below horizon" when it is actually well above...
It sounds like the LX200 doesn't know where the horizon is, even though SatTrack does. Have you set the time in the LX200, including no daylight savings time?...
Yup, I bet I know what it is. The LX200 is returning back to Satellite tracker the message that object is below horizon. It really is not but is below the...

Yes, the NexStar GT and 11GPS scopes are similar to the U2K. The NexStar 5 and 8 are different and I have not done an interface for them yet. I rented a U2K to...
I was curious to know if anyone can provide me a list of some usual 'bright' satellites to try to image. I tried to use the program for the first time this...

Russ, try this link. I believe there is either some bright sats to download here, or it will lead you to some. I think they are called 100 bright sats. On your...

Thanks for the information. I have no doubt its not the program, but my setting all the equipment properly. I was able to synch on some alignment stars, using...
That's right, tracking adjustments are only for satellite tracking. Verify your location settings. It does not follow Meade's conventions. So if you are in the...
