 Anyway you can incorporate a minimum degrees setting? I would like to filter out all passes below 8 degrees or so. 

          Thanks Alex,

There is a new Skyroof video on YouTube which the narrator says setting a minimum satellite degree is possible. Unfortunately he doesn't describe how to do it. Is there anyone who knows where the setting is so I can filter out all of my non-workable passes?

Perhaps the 3rd time asking minimum elevation question will be the charm.....................Where is the setting to filter out all of my 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 degree passes?

There is no setting in SkyRoof to filter out low elevation passes, and I have no plans to add it. Such setting was needed in the old satellite software where passes were shown as text only. In SkyRoof you can see which passes are good for your conditions and which ones are not, due to the mini-chart attached to each pass in the list. In the screenshot below there are only two low elevation passes out of about a dozen, hiding them would not make a big difference.

Thanks Alex.

 Strange how the guy with the latest Skyroof video on YouTube says there is a setting but never shows how to access it.............Guess I know why now.

Hello,

I think its a great option to be added because many of us search for best moments to catch a satellite....
In other apps my settings for minimum elevation is 45 degrees.

Your software its more advanced than others and i love youre work.
Ive just installed today the latest version.

I hope at one point you will add this option too. Many would love it so they can only see the info needed on screen.

Thanks for youre time and  good work!

Several people have asked for this feature. I will see if I can add it.
