Tried ITrack, SuM, and TRAK_SM. All three agreed perfectly, 2-3 figures past the decimal point.

Tried the MOON.TXT keps. WISP choked on them. SATPC32 accepted them, but the azimuth was about 4 degrees different, and the elevation off by about 15 degrees. Since SuM is correct, it looks like the pseudokeps are only close.

I just tested the keps below from moon.txt. SatPC accepts them ok, but unfortunately here in Plains, Montana right now we have 100% overcast so I can not sight the moon.
