Fails to show details of next satellite pass
Real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction

Added module ISS
Mentions next pass but fails to provide details.
Under Next Event it says /AOS: 2016/12/08 18:16:43 but it will not show the TCA, LOS, or detailed angle vs time
Right Click on ISS line below map plus Show next pass fails to show the next pass but instead shows the next+1 pass (2016/12/09 18:48). Right Click plus Show Futer Passes also skips over the next pass
Preferences -> time set to UTC instead of local time

Note, date in this bug report is from a very old TLE. I had not updated the TLE successfully do to another bug that caused the program to hang at startup. Old TLE was probably over a year old.
The bug is still present but the times are different than shown. Uploaded a new screen shot with popups for futre passes and next pass data that do not agree with next event time.
Hi Mark,
I think what you see is a known issue where one of the prediction functions takes the minimum elevation setting into account and the other doesn't.
I don't remember if this has been fixed since the v1.3 release (all my stuff is in boxes right now and I can't run gpredict), buty I'm hoping we can have a new release early next year with most of these issues fixed :-)
