With F7/L/F5 Dimmest satellite magnitude: 13.0 you will skip some objects that appear faint in the satmag.dat file. In case there is no value there, (nor in the elset if F7/L/F7 Use std. magnitudes in ephem file if present) you need a reasonable/matching value for F7/L/F6 Default satellite standard magnitude:. (I use 6.0) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/seesatindex.html
