I love your work.

I know you've probably mentioned this before, but how do you track the ISS as it orbits? Is it done manually or is there a program that does it? I assume it's moving really fast.

You're done posting on my threads. I warned you not to falsely accuse me of faking my videos. I wasn't the one who left you negative karma either, so you can take that accusation and shove it up your ass as well.

Yes, it is moving very fast, it can cross the apparent diameter of the moon in half a second. I track it with a program I wrote to control the telescope. It tracks based on the orbital elements and then locks onto ISS using a video viewfinder to provide corrections to the tracking automatically.

Good job.

You really show just how near these orbiting satellites actually are, and how they can be viewed if you put in the effort to study and work it out, like you have.

As for the haters, these are the same guys who told Columbus he'd sail off the edge of the sea...

Let's hope for no clouds.

Thanks Astromut. Looking forward to the stteam!
