I had a good pass tonight. The scope's tracking was so far off I couldn't even get it close to tracking right. I don't know why - I did a 2 star alignment,...
Darwin, you know the basics fresh tle's correct time correct location align scope, then test if a couple of goto's work start ST, check location info and if...
Dear SatTrack users, I got everthing set up correctly I think for my first ISS try-outs. But with indoor testing de motors behave strange ramping very...

... Have you done a "star alignment"? It won't work until you do. Click on the "Satellite" tab and the "Telescope Interface". What protocol are you using? Some...
Hi, I didn't do a star alignment. I just left the RA and Dec values EQmod is giving on start up. Maybe this is the problem? Anyway I am using the LX200 GPS...

Hi, well I'm using the EQMODLX software to interface between EQ6 and sattrack... is that still not functional? W To: satellitetracker@yahoogroups.com From:...
Satellite Tracker will work with SynScan based mounts (EQ6, Atlas EQ-G, Sirius, HEQ-5, NEQ-6, etc.) with EQASCOM and EQMODLX as the interface interpreter....
Hi, thank you for replying and finally confirming some results made possible with the EQ6. What you say down here has all been done by me. But I really feel...
Since I only do visual tracking, I can't say how realistic or possible your expectations are. I think that the noises out of the steppers on near overhead...
... I'm glad you got a knowledgeable reply to your problem. I'm sorry that I gave you bad advice. You should be able to get the ISS on your chip, but it's...
... Start out with eyepieces and don't worry about photographing it yet. Watching it fly over is pretty relaxing, trying to photograph it is very stressful. I...
Oh yeah, the voice of wisdom gained painfully. I'll agree! Just getting it somewhere in a 1 degree FOV at 2000mm gave me fits, and SUCH a feeling of...
The computer clock normally has nothing to do with the scope clock, and in most cases the scope time is not critical. As long as the scope is well aligned to...
Wow that's a great movie! Gives me an adrinaalin rush just looking at it! To: satellitetracker@yahoogroups.com From: darwin-t@... Date: Sat, 6 Mar 2010...

Darwin, I`ve heard from various authorities that with my Celestron C9.25 & CG-5 mount, correctly polar aligned, a one star alignment should be sufficient for...

They`re great Darwin, I`ve looked at all of them! I`ve had all sorts of trouble locating Jupiter & Saturn on the 640 x 480 chip of my TIS DBK 21A F04.AS & ...
Hello Darwin I think you may have invalidated your alignment when you aligned on Mars with the wrong date/time in scope. Here is my logic. For this example, I...
