Hi Kevin, There is at least one point I have failed to mention, and one that may have eluded you: If you want a "permanent" selection of satellites based on magnitude you should not do it in the elset file, because then you have to repeat this editing each time you fetch a new elset file! Better edit the Satmag.dat file. Note that your editor must not destroy the first three bytes (hex FB 0C 00) - the first "line" is 22 characters + CR/LF. The last ten characters before CR/LF are "00005 10.3" (for Vanguard 1), following lines are more standard (each 10 char + CR/LF). UltraEdit (.com) is one very useful editor. If you want to predict all satellites in a file (like geo.tle) it is a lot easier just to change the SkyMap lighting options menu, or e.g DimmestSat=16.0 in the .cfg file. /Björn ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/sat/seesat/seesatindex.html
