Yaj,
great, I'll take a look at those progs you mentioned. Also I put up a comparison chart for different satellite tracking programs, to see how much they differ. Once I finished the page, I'll post a note.
This is just to see how accurate my program is. I found that it is not even close :(:(:( But I'll have to dwell into that a little further. (Might be wrong testing)
If you guys have time to look at
http://www.movingsatellites.com/e_pa.html
and let me know what I could do to get better comparison results that would help a lot.
BTW Iridium Flares. Is there an algol out to get implemented into my prog ?
Thx in advance.
Varol Okan :)
