I'm not much of a computer whiz but I'd love to know if it's possible to program my computer and Celestron Ultima 2000 to track satellites, the ISS or space shuttles (assuming of course that they will eventually launch again). Anyone out there with thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Dale Hooper [mailto:Dale.Hooper@sdl.usu.edu] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 9:52 AM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] In Defense of GoTo mounts One of the funnest things that I've done here at work was to program an LX200 to track satellite launches at VAFB "on the cheap". Satellite tracking, in general, using two line element (TLE) files is also a lot of fun. BTW, I saw a "movie" of close to a full lunation like you were discussing - posted about a year or so ago. I'll search for the link. Clear and dark skies.

What other ideas can list members come-up with for GoTo mounts, other than simply finding objects for casual visual study?
