Is possible to track the ISS with a G-11?

Hi boys and Girls,

I would like to know if this mount working with the Gemini v.4 can track the ISS on same way that New MEADE mounts can do.

Thanks B4hand,

Frank

Well, I'm not an expert on this, but I'll give it a try. Because of the tracking speed necessary, you need software that will drive your mount independently of the tracking rates programmed into the mount. As far as I know, the only "useful" satellite tracking software is the freeware program called "Satellite Tracker V2.4.9" This software uses it's own track/drive algorithyms to produce a track. It does NOT use ASCOM drivers, therefore the connectivity/support of your mount depends on what prorocol it uses. As far as I know, the SatTracker software it is only compatible with the following protocols: Meade LX200, 200GPS, and Autostar. Celestron Ultima, NexStarGPS, NexStarGT, and CGE/CGEM.
