How do I aim at the Moon? I'm on the US West Coast. Early in the pass on Saturday, both Predict and Orbitron told me that the Moon's azimuth from here should be slightly north of east. It was in the 80-ish degree range, with east, of course, being 90. But looking at Orbitron's map display, the Moon was clearly south of my latitude. As the pass progressed, the Moon moved westward on the map, making a sharper angle to the south of east from here. Both Predict and Orbitron's Az calculation increased too (eventually crossing 90 degrees), but always seemed to be north of where the Moon was. Why would I aim north to hit a southbound Moon? Greg KO6TH Hi Greg, KO6TH It was only the Sub Satellite Point SSP of the Moon south of your latitude on the earth surface i.e. the map display but the Moon as seen from your locator was north of your latitude over the celestial sphere up in the sky and this is why you aim north the antennas to hit the Moon even if her SSP on the map has a southbound path. 73 de i8CVS Domenico ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Anyone using Gpredict with an IC-910h?
I've got the rotator tracking (Fox Delta + G5400) but having trouble with the rig freq control for uplink downlink Doppler correction. Anyone have any suggestions? Dell GX270 IC-910H Gpredict on Ubuntu Linux Onboard serial ports @ 19200 Fox Delta STS-2 (?? I think, maybe 3) Funny looking antennas on a nasty 25' stick which spins around and is attached to the porch. 73, Elan - WB2IOL ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Anyone using Gpredict with an IC-910h?
I have the IC-910H doppler working w/ gpredict just fine using a eBay CI-V cable. I have the radio's baud rate set to automatic but the cable itself only seems able to support 4800 baud (no lower, no higher). Works great at 1 second updates even for LEO birds.
