Hi,
In a recent posting John WB9PNU asked about Keps for the moon. However, I note that he quoted my posting about OSCAR-11 status. Have the wires got crossed? Or was this related to OSCAR-11 eclipses?
The eclipses on OSCAR-11 are nothing to do with the moon. Just the satellite going into the earth's shadow. Many tracking programs give an indication of when this happens.
On my website there is a dedicated software package to do the eclipse predictions, SATILL.ZIP. It's in the General Satellite and OSCAR-11 pages.The URL is www.users.zetnet.co.uk/clivew/
