Hi Rob

In SNP Pro V6, after updating the Satellite, Comet & Asteroid elements from the SNP website, I dialled in the time and date provided by Bert and did the following:

Set the viewing direction to Zenith (click “Z” in the Tool Bar).
FOV was set to the default at 100x66 degrees.

Select “View” from the Menu bar.
Select “Solar System” from the drop down list.
Select “Satellites” from the fly-out list.

Select “Labels” from the Menu bar.
Select “Satellites” from the drop down list.

After performing the above, Iridium 23 just popped up in the middle of the display. See attached screen prints.

Cheers

Dennis
