I recently added a feature to Lady Heather that can output the sun and moon positions to a port. This was for use by solar trackers and moon bounce antennas. It would be easy to modify that code to output the position of a satellite (or all satellites) if you wanted to keep an antenna pointed at a specific satellite.

Mark, That would be most useful and free folks from a few of the proprietary satellite tracker programs. One could write a 'shim' to consume the output from a tcp/udp (or serial) port and convert to the proper format for a chosen polar or az/el rotor.

Hi, Yes please. I've toyed with the idea of pointing the radio clubs 6 m antenna on GPS birds just for the fun and capture signals. That is used for moon bounce mostly on the 23 cm band.
