K2UYH has a camera mounted on his dish. I love the felt tip marker on his monitor showing where the moon should be!
Now, could you do something like use a capture card and OpenCV to use the camera to aim the dish by observation rather than by prediction?
Could you track the ISS with such a device? If you could I wouldn't want to get in the way of the rotator and beam as it swings. It would probably bat you into LEO!
