Hi all. I am new to this list. We are performing visual satellite tracking for the purposes of simulating a ground station for a communications experiment. I would invite you to review our results at: http://www.d3experiment.homepage.com/. There is a video archive with some MPEGs showing the tracking recorded with a CCD. Our best image is one where ISS passes by the moon (moon moving, ISS stationary). See http://www.d3experiment.homepage.com/TrackingGallery/STS_1_moon.mpg. We have achieved smooth dynamic tracking with the LX-200 telescope commanded by Brent Bosharts LXSAT software. As pontificated in the above URL, we cannot be more impressed with Brent's software. There is a detailed PDF file describing our technique http://www.d3experiment.homepage.com/UplinkSimulation/D3UplinkSimulation.pdf. As always, I am looking for feedback. regards Dean Schrage ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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/seesat/seesatindex.html
