Can Vespera models track satellites or the ISS?

It's unlikely that we'll be able to offer this functionality, due to the technical constraints inherent in the speed at which satellites move, requiring perfectly regular tracking at high speeds. Indeed, the movement of satellites (and the ISS) in the sky is very fast compared with the movement of stars and our instruments. What's more, the ISS will only appear as a tiny point of light, with no further detail.
