Colin,

Thanks for the info.

I will watch more closely in the coming days, my station is tracking 24 birds at a time with SatPC32, yesterday I put AmicalSat as 1st priority and is I will watch more closely at the logs in the coming days.

Also seems same for night time also as yesterday evening (satellite in eclipse) I collected 23 frames.

73
