Tonight for the first time, I was able to capture a passing satellite with the gps time inserter running. I was scanning to see what sat would pass by, and came across the following TITAN 3A TRANSTAGE R/B 1 01359U 65034A 04046.88204280 +.00000008 +00000-0 +10000-3 0 06788 2 01359 032.1338 004.0372 0488927 326.8644 030.2083 09.17111744300168 Made a nice flashing satellite. I didn't bother to check the ppas database until after I recorded the pass. So it was nice to see a flashing satellite, without knowing for sure if it's flashing before seeing it. I have put the unedited video on dvd, for safekeeping. I plan to edit the video, and put it on my website. It nice to have the gps time inserter, so have a means of knowing on what date and time I saw a certain satellite. The time shown is univsersal time. I label the video by satellite catalog number, such as 01359 for the above. One happy sat observer now :) Bring on more satellite's:) I plan to bag as many on video as possible tonight, ha ha ha. I can also go outside and see them with the scope/binoculars. I set the program used to capture to record for a certain length of time, then run outside. Since the time is displayed, makes editing easier, since I know where the satellite was in the feild of view.
