Fellow seesaters( analysts in particular),
Rob Mcnaught,  is currently observing meteors with an
intensified video camera and software running on an a PC
which cannot be internet connected. With an 85mm lense 
and a 11 degree field of view. Positional accuracy about 1 arcmin.
The PC clock drifts rather badly. I recently checked out a satellite which 
triggered the system ( ISS! ). It set me to wondering how accurately
one could get a clock correcton by doing a satellite observation
with such a system on something in a stable orbit. I rather think
the limitation might be the SGP4/SGD4 system TLE's are based on.
