ISS not found in get_observer_look #116
Description
Code Sample, a minimal, complete, and verifiable piece of code
# Your code here
tz = datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(seconds=7200))
now = datetime.datetime.now(tz).isoformat(timespec='minutes')
(lon, lat, ele) = (61.XXXXXX, 24.XXXXXX, 0.093)
orb = Orbital("ISS")
az1, alt1 = orb.get_observer_look(now,lon,lat,ele)
print("")
print("Elevation: ", alt1)
print("Azimuth: ", az1)Problem description
ISS (International Space Station) as Orbital class(*) name is not recognized: I tried a lot of variation like ISS, ISS - ZVEZDA, only ZVEZDA, 25544 but none of the listed are working. I would like to get Elevation and Azimuth values for tracking ISS for HAM-APRS communication. Or should I just make a TLS file only containing ISS?
For example the SENTINEL-1A as Orbital class designation is working fine.
I am not using any .TLE file I assume pyorbital is trying to get current data online with Orbital.
pyorbital is awesome thank you for creating/maintaining it!
(*)Class for orbital computations.
The satellite parameter is the name of the satellite to work on and is used to retrieve the right TLE data for internet or from tle_file in case it is provided.
Expected Output
Elevation and Aziuth for ISS (or one of its specific module if that granularity makes sense)as it is in the TLE file from Celestrak.com
Actual Result, Traceback if applicable
