Satellite tracking software
I currently have no plans to drive an LX200 (or any other telescope)
through SatWhere. AFAIK, the LX200 lets you track satellites out of the box, no? Cheers - Balt http://www.satwhere.com The ultimate satellite tracking and earth viewer software. Yours for $24.99! |

@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: SatWhere does a number of things Orbitron, NOVA and what they're all called don't do, what comes to mind in no particular order: Snipola Eyecandy? Or functionality?

wrote in message ups.com... Orbitron doesn't do a lot of things SatWhere does, see my post below on the specific features. I forgot one the It doesn't only automatically download and maintain Keplers from space-track, it also downloads the latest amateur maintained classified satellite elements. Certainly, postcardware is cheaper than $24.99, the regular price I'm charging. But then again, you get what you pay for. It all depends on your expectations. SatWhere was born out of a very particular need: The autonomous operation of my HRPT receiver station (see http://www.ozabove.com) which might explain why it doesn't cater to the average satellite amateur. However, if you lend your opinion a voice rather than just a dismissive shrug, you could help making SatWhere the best there is. Tell me what it is you're missing! Cheers - Balt http://www.satwhere.com The ultimate satellite tracking and earthviewer software for $24.99 What about an inbuilt apt/hrpt et al decoder?That would have to be worth $25.00 and a bit more rotator support, otherwise it's all pretty much standard fare. |

Brian,
If you read the list you'd you'd understand it's not eyecandy. The user interface admittedly looks better than any other satellite software out there, it in fact is professional from tip to toe, and it doesn't have that cheesy, a bit sleazy and outdated, radio shack amateur soldering tin touch to it, I guess a lot of people interested in satellites prefer that. And no, SatWhere does not run under DOS 2.0 nor Windows 3.1. Sorry. Cheers - Balt http://www.satwhere.com The ultimate satellite tracking and earth viewer software. Yours for $24.99! |

That's an idea I'll certainly look into. Thanks.
I do however not agree with your "standard fare" negativism, SatWhere offers quite a bit of unique features in its present state. Cheers - Balt http://www.satwhere.com The ultimate satellite tracking and earth viewer software. Yours for $24.99! |

Cheers - Balt http://www.satwhere.com The ultimate satellite tracking and earth viewer software. Yours for $24.99! Balt, I do sympathise with your predicament, and I don't really mean to express negativism. I and a small team developed a radio data encryption/decryption technology that revolutionised the way information was analysed, way back in 1998. Our friends and allies "borrowed" it and nary a royalty was to be seen. It's a tough world out there for developers, so I'm with you on this one. But unless your idea departs radically from the norm, eye candy et al, it's a tough row to hoe. I wish you every good luck. |

Salut Philippe what do you think is missing? I'm always open for suggestions. Cheers - Balt Hello, You don't need to be pro to have a nice soft, many soft made by amateur are better than those made by pro... Again have a look at Cartes du Ciel-SkyCharts (freeware) made by Patrick Chevalley from Geneva), is much better than pro. Or also his second freeware Virtual Moon atlas... I didn't find the way to see the sats in a starschart at a given moment... Only see the way to display at the present time.... I used to use the very goos SatSpy (no more available) which has many other possibilities that SatWhere doesn't seems to have....... or I didn't find them..... And the price 75$ was much to high, now you lower it it is better...... Have a good week end...

My point was that you're posts seem to concentrate on selling the eycandy portion of your software rather than focusing on its functionality. I may be wrong, but I think among the serious satellite watch community, functionality comes 1st and eyecandy a distant second.
