I'm pretty sure you can update the hand controller. In Meade they have a setting for satellites. I don't know about Celestron??? I'll go check.

I cannot find the Celestron booklet. But Sonny has a good alternate solution.

I was setting up for tonight's pass, but scurried everything inside when it began to sprinkle....
:lol: Sunshine Superman.... :lol:

There is a lot of ground based pollution between me and the path, but I hope to try anyway.

25 degrees is low and atmosphere might really distort.

Yes Jim you found it that setup on Stellarium should work.
When I get my new mount Thur I'll start working on it with my laptop.
Does the mount come with software related to this subject???

Not this software in particular. It comes with another piece of software that I have not explored much but I did install on my desktop.
Here is a better link to manuals and software downloads.
Celestron has them all over the place I guess.

No luck for me tonight.
Skies cleared, but there was a strip I think hid my target.
Hopefully it will be around again and again.
