    Patrick Wiggins corrected me :-))
    
    Okay I stand a bit corrected :-)) -- still dont like THE SKY
    but then its a matter of personal choice :-))
    
    I only have THE SKY up to V5 so it now looks like V6 can 
    handle satellites- I went to their website but they dont say 
    much about it - eg how big a database of  satellites can it handle? 
    
    I havent bothered with commercial software for driving 
    telescopes as I use the freeware program CoSaTrak to 
    drive my Computerised SAtellite TRAKing system but this
    needs a bit of mechancal work as it uses stepper motors to
    drive the telescope
    
    I liked your pictures of Vanguard 1 and the Fengyun 
    geostationary satellite ....
    
    Cheers
    Greg
