Darwin, here is a quicksat control file that shows all passes of the Metop-A European weather satellite for me location, reporting in UT rather than local time Tony Beresford ======================================================= 2009 2 Year, month number 3 6 Start date, end date 0.0 23.999 A Start time, end time, Absolute flag -34.9638 -138.6333 330. 8597 0.0 UT 24 correction and time zone name for UT to CDT 2000 Epoch of predicted RA, Dec 20.0 Magnitude limit 10. Altitude cut-off value 0.3 The search/step parameter value F Do not store elements in memory F True means accept only the most recent elements for each object T True means ignore shadow test T 40 True means generate multiple prediction points, how many each way F True means output distance values in miles T True means generate a blank line before each object's prediction.
