    I know I should just send this to a select few, but I am too happy..
    
    I have solved my GEO issue, namely doing more than one every 20 or 30
    minutes.. 
    
    :-))
    
    There was a TINY little issue I was missing.. Namely that Heavensat provides
    RA and DEC 'of date', which is what my telescope uses.. With that tidbit,
    and the enthusiasm of seeing a GEO flare just as I was about to give up on
    it because I could not see it, yet again, caused all this.
    
    'All right darn it!.. Let's do this!"
    
    The result? About 8 GEOs in 20 minutes.. Video for a minute, enter the next
    one, video..
    
    YEA!..
    
    Oh yeah.. Must put away the scope stuff still..
    
    :-)))
