Geosynchronous Satellite Window

The Geosynchronous Satellite window shows the positions of deep space satellites as seen from your viewing location. You can use this window to find where "your" direct TV broadcast satellite is located. This window is highly interactive and shares many of the functions with other local sky windows such as the single and multiple skytrace windows.

This window has many capabilities. You can:

Select one or more satellites to view using the selection dialog. This dialog automatically distinguishes between those that are visible (black) and those that are below your local horizon.
Find the identity of any satellite simply by clicking its symbol with the mouse.
Open a Ephemeris Point dialog which allows you to step through the symbols, interactively, and find details on any satellite.
You control the criteria by which satellites are selected and color coded.
Change the viewing times to see how the satellites move with respect to the background sky.
