Paolo, I have fixed the problem you have encountered a few weeks ago with my satellite program, EOO. I have posted an update on my site. This eliminates the need to have your language and setting options to be set to English. It has been tested by a few and works fine. Sorry for the problem. I am in the process of testing satellite telescope tracking using Meade LX drivers and Ascom. I am in the beta mode, as soon as tests are completed and correction made, I'll post an update. http://www3.telus.net/public/boucherd/main.htm Denis.
