Ive spent the last couple of weeks playing with the new satdump software for wxsat reception. Unlike the old way of doing things where you have multiple bits of software all talking to each other & which cease to talk to each other as soon as you turn your back on the computer (or sneeze too hard) this does it all for you. And despite a steep learning curve I have to say Im rather impressed with it
This is the new MeteorM2-4 on an afternoon pass today
The snow on the Norwegian mountains is fantastic, but look at the edge of the ice way up north.
This was achieved with the following equipment:
RTL-SDR tv dongle
137MHz turnstile antenna
At least 12 year old i3 computer with 8GB ram. (a bit underpowered for this- it needs something more modern, but it does work)
software:
Satdump freeware
win10 on the computer.
