Hi Robin Thanks for your input - this is what we need... > Just a lurking hobbyist here with no technical knowledge, but I think ST > is somewhat telescope dependent, and very user competence dependent. I > have used ST for over 10 years with my '98 8" LX200. this is the impression I got from reading the newsgroups that use SATELLITE TRACKER. Until recently I did not have a suitable GOTO telescope and could only "examine" the program on my PC and found things a little confusing so Ive never really considered it seriously. I do know that it has problems with some geostationary satellites as Scott has pointed out so another reason why I havent bothered with it (yet). Ive got so many things I want to do but when I have the time I just havent got the energy to get off my butt and try it - I get frustrated pretty easy ! So far SATELLITE TRACKER only seems to have been used by people trying to image ISS. As far as I know no one has done ANY positional work with it apart from Scott and Tim ? Usuing a commercial GOTO telescope for serious satellite tracking is a relatively new field so there is much to learn Best wishes Greg _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
