Hi @ all, we have taken a new image of the ISS with our new 160" LX2000 telescope (They must have advanced the Shuttle-Launch) have a closer look at: ...
Excellent shot! I hope you reported it to the authorities, they probably haven't heard about the accident yet :) Regards, Eddie Trimarchi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ...

A quote from Spaceflight Now (http://www.spaceflightnow.com/station/sts110/020402preview/) - if this happens it would put an end to pictures of ISS. "To...
If NASA choose to do this, it would just inspire us to create our own TLEs. Armatures are currently creating orbital elements for Near Earth Asteroids as a...
I posted the following text on alt.telescopes.meade.lx200, but haven't had any suggestions thus far. Anyone got ideas here? Thx.............Pat ... I've been...
Hello P Gaul I think at time it is no solution for our problem.We have the same problem and I talked with the meade headquater ( which has no support to...
Meade uses 0 azimuth at south so the problem is at 180deg azmiuth, right? I don't have a LX200 anymore but maybe someone could try this: If your scope is at...
Actually try this: Track a satellite and when it approaches the North point, click "Stop Tracking", using the keypad manually slew the scope through the North...
We had a frustrating night on Wednesday - clear skies all day gave way to light cloud just minutes before the 20:30 UTC pass over Manchester. As we didn't...
I finally got the scope out tonight (Ohio) and for the first time observed 2 separate ISS passes. It was really neat. I could see the copper colored solar...
At long last we have finished V2.0 of the virtual reality ISS simulator. This allows the appearance of the ISS to be simulated in VRML and viewed in Internet...
Hello! I woul like to know the software that tells you when to expect the ISS / orbiter overhead pass. Is it part of the satellite tracker software? I have...
Hi all, I need help with a special project. A missionary friend in Mexico recently expressed the desire to show you boys and girls in impoverished areas of...
I've had good success manually "leap-frogging" to view satellites using a Mac laptop, Starry Night Pro and a Celestron Nexstar 8. However, I'd love to really...
John - For true tracking of satellites, the motors in the Nexstar don't go fast enough (that is why they are quieter than the meade motors - meade motors go up...
Todd - I'm running OS 9.0.4. on a 500 megahertz G3 laptop. I'm pretty sure that Satellite Tracker will run ok under virtual PC, but I am concerned about the...
I have a Powerbook G3/300 that I have run OS 9 with Virtual PC 4 and SatTracker on. It generally works well, the main thing is that the timing adjustment is a...
Over the past few months we have been working on producing smoother video of entire ISS passes. This has been achieved with some new software which Phil has...
Last month we had some good ISS-passes. Because we had optimized our installation, we had more frames to analyse. This took more time, but also results in...
The NexStarGPS and NexStar 5 protocols are different, it will not work. I do have beta-version for the NexStar 5/8. Unfortunately, I do not have access to...
Tobias, Great pictures! - look forward to seeing the animations. What did you think of the video from Ron Dantowitz? I think he seems to capture finer detail...
Tobias, Once again some very good pictures ! I was wondering what you have done to improve your set up ? Also how do you generate your animation stills ? They...
Hi! Since I recently purchased a Meade 10" LX200 f6.3 telescope, I have for sale an 8" Celestron w/Starbright coating and Byers drive. I am asking for $650.00...
Phil, Mike, ... I am not sure if there is some misunderstanding. With the "installation" I meant the telescope and the other equipment. I am also not sure if...
All I have recently been trying to get an image of something other than the ISS which might show some detail. Here is a link to an image of Envisat which is a...
Phil, very good picture! We have also tried to track Envisat, but never seen any detail. Good to see that it is possible to see details. So we will try to...
Tobias, This link has a diagram telling me all I need to know to add Envisat to the simulator and I don't think it will be too difficult. I just hope the...
