I've been using SatPC32 to track the ham satellites. Lately I've also been trying EME (moonbounce). Does anyone know if SatPC32 can track the moon as well as the amateur satellites? If yes, how is this done?

There is a program in the SatPC32 folder called SuM that will do just that!

I don't currently use SatPC32 for the Moon (having both MoonSked and NOVA), but I did not find a folder named SuM in SatPC32. For Moon az/el location, JT-65 provides that. For controlling an antenna I have the Unitrac-2000 that runs with NOVA. But my B5400 is broke at the moment, so Unitrac is not in use.
My SatPC32 is circa 2008 so maybe didn't have that folder back then?

Ed,
The program is installed with newer versions automatically. I am not certain where the dividing line for "newer" is, however. It might be time to update to the latest version.

Hi Ed, KL7UW
Even the old InstantTrack tracks the moon very well for EME use !
From IT Manual.pdf
"Sun and Moon -- InstantTrack tracks the Sun and Moon as well as the satellites in its database."
