  • Could this be used to track the ISS? For instance if you had checked heavensabove site and a UK pass was due, could you then use this to track it enough to manage imaging of the ISS? Good set of videos by the way.

  • Yes, you can track the ISS provided you have loaded the latest TLE data and have an PC accurate time etc.

  • Should have mentioned that for accurate satellite tracking you should make sure your PC clock has been resynchronised via an internet time update or GPS device. You would also need to have Satellite Tracker download the latest TLE files.

  • THX for this tutorial, but the tracking works only with speeds under 1000 arcsec/sec in RA/DEC very well. When I want to track faster satellites like the ISS, the mount (EQ6-Syntrek) "jumps" from point to point and doesn't catch the satellite. Is there any reason?

  • Again, great explanation and tutorial.
