Paul,

I haven't been able to see any shapes. The way CSat works is that it gets ahead of the sat and waits for it. After it passes thru fov, it moves
ahead and waits again . At 32x & fov = 1.4 deg, most sats take 3 or 4 seconds to go thru. If I increase mag enough to see some shape in Mir or
STS+ISS, it would probably go thru too fast to get a good look. I haven't really tried it at high mag, but I will and I'll let you know what happens.
