Can anyone suggest a suitable Sat tracking programme for a colleague to use
in conjunction with his telescope?

The aim is to attempt to get a visual on the Shuttle , consequently , the
tracking programme should show the satellite against the star field,for
reference.

(Written as STS is on the pad T -1-30 and NASATV is being re-broadcast to
Europe via Intelsat Star 21 west...digital 11558H 5632 3/4 )

Many thanks , John.
