Hi : Finally got some rain and installed Google Chrome and found a website that instructed in simple detail how to activate the HTML5's OpenGL engine so that I could try out Satflare's online sat tracker . http://tinyurl.com/26orlg7 (turns out my Opera 11.60 has the WebGL but it was also not activated by default) . Wow ! This is exactly what I've been hoping for . So simple to use it's wild . For example , saw a flare , back home in Satflare I easily set the clock for that recorded time , dbl clicked in the exact part of the sky I noted , set the search radius for 3 degrees and BINGO ! Satflare gave me 2 choices ... one that was really moving quickly and the other one , which didn't even appear to be moving , which is exactly what the flare I saw was behaving like . Perfect . Can't imagine it being any simpler , plus it was a classified that Heavens Above said simply was not there that evening (but the evenings before and also after) . It also has the option of exporting a link to send someone so that they can visually see the results of a possible sighting hit . http://tinyurl.com/c7bu62l (I think you must beregistered to be able to click on an exported link to view it) . I'm guessing that maybe there are other apps with more bells&whistles perhaps but for me this seems to do the job , and Chrome is also very fast and simple .
