Please recommend software for star tracking
Hello, I am very new to this and very intrested. I came across
heavens-above and love how you enter your location and you are given coordinates in the sky of where the events will be in refrence to your location. I was wondering if there is software avaliable so that I could get coordinates of stars based on my location and the time. This may be very easy but again I am just getting into this and any suggestions are welcome. Ideally I would be able to get these corrdinates for the stars without an active internet connection for a database. Thanks in advance, rkremser -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

CdC, freewa http://www.stargazing.net/astropc/index.html CdC will work, but the process of loading new orbital elements by replacing the Visual.tle file in the cat\satellites directory is not properly documented. The quicksat.mag file should also be updated. The ability to predict satellites is under the "calendar" menu. Contact me (mmccants at io dot com) if you need more help. Mike McCants |
