Hi Joe,
During the year I also used Heavens-above, but not during the last days.
I also use NOVA, which uses Celestrack, and it is still very accurate.
For my own antenna tracking SW I use celestrack as well: http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt
These sets gave today accurate information within 1 minute.
Unfortunately, this site does not include ANDE, NO-61: http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/tools/predict/
Not sure which SW you use, but the keppler sets are there. Just update them prior to every pass.
Please note though that in the coming hours they will become not accurate anymore. ANDE will dive down very fast. (more doppler, smaller footprint, earlier as the SW predicts)
Success ! Henk
Or i wonder how up to date the stuff on heaveans above are? I have passes in en43 on the 23rd of 08:21 and 12:57 cst sound close?

Today ANDE is at about 182 km.
Looking at the plot, at the most one more day is left: http://home.vianetworks.nl/users/hamoen/pa3guo/ande_predict_pa3guo_22dec2007...
But it can be less.
