Re: OFEQ 11

Another first for me - I viewed Derek's OFEQ 11 wmv, took a few
screenshots, convert them at Astrometry.net to fits, and simply read the
coordinates in SAOimage DS9 ! Quite fast and easy.
It might work for faint stars/small fields also (they have 0.1 degrees FOV
as minimum in the dropdown)

Satellites are simple. Reducing them with ObsReduce - not so much. Without
