Hi all,
Koos created an initial wiki page on the sats.wikidot.com wiki with this info. I just added all the other programs mentioned in this thread to the page.
http://sats.wikidot.com/how-do-i-check-whether-ao-91-or-another-satellite-is...
I also found a way to see if a sat is in eclipse with Heavens-Above Pro (Android). I added that to the page as well. For reference here are the steps:
Select a satellite by searching for it or finding it under "Radio Satellites" Select the "ORBIT" tab You can see the sunline on the world map and the part that is dark. Make sure the satellite is not in the dark part.

Gosatwatch for the iPhone/ iPad makes it very easy for you to see, either on the world map, the sky view. or pass prediction graph whether it’s eclipse or not. It’s fun when showing people invisible I SS pass and girl it’s going to disappear in about 10 seconds and yes it does.

G0KLA Track will show you visually which satellites are in sun vs eclipse if you click the little sun icon. You can see all your selected satellites for the next 2 days. It is very low overhead so I just run it in parallel with the program I am using to steer the antenna. It is best used as a forecast of upcoming passes rather than as a view of a pass in progress. There is an example of the sun/eclipse view on this page: https://www.g0kla.com/klatrack/index.php

MacDoppler has several ways: The actual satellite sphere (which is artificially larger than scale for practical reasons) is grey when it is in eclipse - no sunshine. When it is illuminated by the sun and not eclipsed by the earth the satellite is shown as yellow. There is also a column named Eclipse which will display Sun if the satellite is illuminated by the Sun, else Drk.
