Re: [guide-user] Show Shadow of ISS on the World Map

Kevin Fetter Jun 7, 2004

Guide doesn't do it by itself. I had found a method to compute the data, and have guide show it,
with some help from bill.

Download this file

http://www.kfetter.100megs26.com/Sun.zip

Unzip the file into guide, and run guide. Get into the map view, then hit shift F9. It brings up a
screen called "select dataset to toggle". Look for " solar transit path". Using the right click
button of the mouse, click on the solar transit path. Turn on the data, by clicking on where it
says's "on". The data appears on the map.

The lines are where the iss is predicted to cross near the centre of the solar disc, at the same
time venus is on the solar disc.
