Bob, will this be a LEO? The reason I ask is to get some kind of guesstimate of how fast the telescope would have to slew. I've got a ham friend who's into astronomy pretty heavy, and that's the first thing he'd ask. Jim KQ6EA
Actually, a Paramount ME is quite capable of tracking a LEO, and you can feed Orbital elements to TheSky6 to control it ... it allows separate tracking rates in two axes to accomplish the tracking.
