SatPC32 has a special program for the Sun and Moon. It's called SuM. You can find it under the Start/Programs button, with the SatPC32 programs.

Wayne replies:

The separate SuM program controls rotors and displays the moon's az/el, but it doesn't display the moon's visibility footprint on a world map. I can see how EME operators would want Moon Keps in the main SatPC32 program in order to see the moon's visibility footprint.
