Satellite tracking through LX200

Hi,

I've been having a look around at the various satellite tracking programs
for the LX200. There appear to be a few about now - does anybody have any
experience of them, and could recommend one. I appreciate the clock needs
to be pretty accurate and TLEs up to date, along with the location info,
but would like to do some videoing / imaging of things as they go past!

Thanks

Gary

Hi Gary,

A university colleague I know tried a program called 'Satellite Tracker'
that he bought from a website. It is supposed to be one of the best
examples around, but costs something like £30. I think you can either
use it to control the LX200 from the PC or you can upload the data to
the object library on the handset.
