Star Sep = 0.058 deg The above points were taken using an 8 inch reflector with 40mm eyepiece. Globalstar 14 98023C was id as unknown seen in telescope at 00.09.24 UTC Dec 10 at 66 Pegasus. Using a Meade ETX90 using Autostar and controlled by laptop running RTGUI+S and Sky Charts observed 20344 approx 1/2 degree under 40 Cassiopeia at 01.46.16 UTC. I did not get a good point there :( I had the slew rate to fast and lost soon after observing, no experience with this setup. These free programs work excellent on my old cheap ebay purchased laptop with little RAM and running Windows 98SE. More setup time required than bringing out dobs, but could be useful in picking up sats at harder to find stars by clicking on Sky Chart map on star and telling telescope to go there :) Lat. 39.4707 Lon. -79.3388 Alt. 2753 ft. -5 UTC What these numbers mean : http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
