Comment 1 for bug 1019426

Bogdan,
I was trying to track the satellites using virtual telescope and have same issue as Howard. I have looked at the plugin wiki page and there's a note saying that tracking satellites is unsupported and tracking planets is not advised.

I'm not a programmer, but I looked at the code and TelescopeControl::slewTelescopeToSelectedObject() which gets called when ctrl+{1-9} is pressed does the job pretty well (I also tried pressing ctrl+1 few times to trigger the event and it seemed to work). If I understand correctly when telescope is moved to a selected object it doesn't track it, rather just sits in the sky (although it moves with the planets and the moon, but gets out of sync pretty quickly), perhaps checking if the selected object isn't moving along the equator and triggering slew would be the way to go? I'm sorry if this sounds lame (;
