SOFTWARE AUTOMATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS EARTH SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS
Software automation of observations of geosynchronous Earth satellites is an important tool for effective monitoring of outer space. The program "Plan" presented in the work was created to automate the process of planning observations with the Takahashi BRC-250M telescope. The development is based on algorithms that take into account the visibility of satellites, the phase of the Moon, breaks between frames, as well as optimization of telescope movements to reduce observation time.
