Hello group. I am new to observing as of last year and need your help. My wife bought me a TAK FS-128 (WOW) for Christmas and I have it on an Orion GP-DX mount with manual control. I cought a glimpse of the space station and am hooked on this type of viewing. There is a lot of software for tracking satellites, but the only equipment I have seen that states it can track such objects is the Vixen SkySensor. Is there better and more capable equipment than Vixen? What happens when a satellite goes overhead from West to East? Anyone one with suggestions or where I can get more indepth information would be most helpful?
