    This is a great program.  Small, fast, and unlike C-Sat can 
    continuously track.  Works flawlessly on my old slow Pentium 
    Laptop.  Best of all, the price ;^)
    
    Used it to observe Lacrosse2 Thursday night and with continuous 
    tracking @98X  I could see the solar panels on both sides of it.  
    Can't wait to use it on Mir and ISS.  Wil report back then, may 
    even try to get some video.
