As the author of STVID, I feel the need to provide some background to what STVID tries to do. A small community of satellite observers maintain a catalog of satellites for which orbital elements are not publicly available. They obtain positional measurements of these satellites and share them such that orbital elements can be computed, allowing these satellites to remain track-able in the future. Originally, these positional measurements were done with binoculars and stopwatches to time when a satellite passed close to a single star or between a pair of stars, from which the position (celestial coordinates) could be determined and shared for orbit determination. With the advent of analog video cameras, and later digital cameras, I’ve developed STVID to automate as much of the satellite detection, identification and position measurements. With STVID a digital video camera can be pointed to a point on the sky and the software will predict which satellites are visible, detect visible satellites by their trails and identify these.
Here I must warn that the software has been designed specifically for this purpose and has been tested with a limited number of USB connected astronomical cameras with a specific set of fast photographic lenses. There are no guarantees that a specific other camera/lens combination will work.
