[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1046441, member: 176362"] Now you need to install WXtoImg This bit is fairly simple but you will get the unregistered version. The software is no longer supported so you wont be able to get a pukka key. So we need to find as working key for it. Ahem have a look here (Reply 31) .... ;) [code]https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=31494.25[/code] It work fine - and seeing as the wxtoimg software designer had been giving out free keys at the end I cant see any problem about using this method. Click on Help - Enter Upgrade Key and carefully enter the info. OK the satellite pass info is out of date so click on File - Update Keplers and the WXtoImg software will go and pick up some updates. (If you get an error message saying keplers are still out of date just run this bit again. Just occasionally the update doesnt "stick"). Next click on Options - Active APT Satellites and untick NOAA 17 - that one is dead If you are wondering what happened to NOAA 16 - it was decommissioned in June 2014 & fragmented in late 2015! [ATTACH=full]116037[/ATTACH] Now to set your location. Click on Options - Ground Station Location and set your home location - one decimal place is near enough. Get this right or else your pass info will be incorrect! [ATTACH=full]116038[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
