I like the tabular output from the WinAOS module of SatPC32 (example below)... I find it much more useful than a graphical pass schedule: it not only tells me which bird will rise & set when, but how high it will get and the azimuth at AOS and LOS

Greetings,
Does anyone know of a pass scheduler program that produces satellite pass times graphically for multiple satelites over say at least a day? A ficticous 1/2-day example of what I am looking for appears below. I know Bob's aprsdos does it but I don't run dos level programs anymore in Vista if I can help it. I built an Excel spreadsheet to kind of produce a graphical pass schedule but it is a painfully manual process to generate.
Thanks.

etc, etc.
