If memory serves, you can get a computerized Meade telescope for <$1,000. For very little extra cost (<$100), you can connect it to a computer and get software that is specifically designed for tracking satellites. Why upgrade when you can get a new telescope for probably less $$$ (and probably better, too) ? ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
