I feel like going down tommorow to check out and buy something. He mentions financing schemes as well on the website , but no details. And his pricelist doesn't contains all the telescopes on his website front page.
Someone give me more info?

I'm looking for something that can accept TLE of satellites and be able to track them , it can be state vectors also or some other form but basically given an ephemeris of a satellite it should be able to locate it. Any rough idea on where i should be looking at?

Hi,
You mean this not a common feature?
No, I don't think so. I think part of the reason is that the orbital information of artificial satellites keep changing and they move very fast across the sky.
Anyway, the only GOTO system that I know can alert, GOTO and track artificial satellites is the Vixen SkySensor 2000, but you need to key in the updated orbital information for that day.
Have a nice day.

I believe that satellites move too fast for any effective tracking.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong?
