Eyepiece projection & FOV
I need a large FOV for searching/detecting satellites and tracking too.
I track satellites manually using the Autostar's arrow keys. You need to have a large FOV to keep the satellite in the field with those arrow keys. I do it for two reasons. Firstly, the 497 Autostar's satellite prediction algorithm is not accurate and reliable. Meade just cut corners. Secondly, very often I just happen to stumble on a satellite and I start following it. With a smaller field of view I would never be able to stumble on a satellite nor follow it. |
