Sabine, DL1DBC and author of the “Virgo” meteor scatter radar page respond to
my plea for help in getting this Java based, web application to run last night.
He announced that Alexander, DL8AAU, and Bastian, DB1BM, made a redesign of the
software and it is now available in a standalone version. It can be downloaded
here:
https://bitbucket.org/NoGy/virgo/downloads/
<https://bitbucket.org/NoGy/virgo/downloads/>
It runs perfectly on my Windows 10 64 bit machine. YMMV. No joy on my MacBook
Pro so far.
All you need to do is enter your Maidenhead Grid Square in six-digits, and the
software will show you the direction of the radiant for all currently active
meteor showers. It also has some great real-time data about rates, etc.
Wonderful tool for those chasing meteor scatter DX. Highly recommended! Thanks
to Sabine, Alexander, and Bastian for their hard work on this.
