Heavens-above and Stellarium don't match up.

[PeterMammoth]

Hello. I downloaded some extra comet and ISS data for Stellarium. But I've checked Heavens-above.com for the next ISS fly-by and although the star chart matches Stellarium for the given date and time, the ISS in Stellarium is completely wrong. I've set the right location for both. Anyone have any ideas?

I gave up on stellarium for ISS, a total waste of time, literally! HA is always bang on.

That's a shame, oh well. At least I now know which one is right

Peter, you've downloaded ISS data? Do you mean that you've tried to add it as a Solar System object to the ssystem.ini file, or you are using the Satellites plug-in?

If the Satellites plug-in displays the ISS in a wrong position, have you tried to force a manual update of the TLE lists? Open the Satellites configuration window with Alt+Z, then push the "Update now" button.

Yes, I was using an ssystem.ini. But I've now upgraded to version 0.10.5 and enabled the Satellites plugin. Now the ISS is spot on

Thanks for the advice. Stellarium is awesome. Hopefully I'll finally get my first view of the ISS soon.
