Have you done a plate-solve on the object you detected?
Hi Peter,
No I haven't done a plate solve, to tell you the truth I've never done one and wouldn't know where to start so I'm guessing that would tell me exactly what I have.

All I'm going on is the real time coordinates from Sky Safari from the iPhone for the location and using those in The sky 6 and there it was exactly where its meant to be and heading in the right direction.
Been tracking it for a couple of hrs now and still have it.
