Graphical Satellite Pass Schedule Graphics?
Greetings,
Does anyone know of a pass scheduler program that produces satellite pass times graphically for multiple satelites over say at least a day? A ficticous 1/2-day example of what I am looking for appears below. I know Bob's aprsdos does it but I don't run dos level programs anymore in Vista if I can help it. I built an Excel spreadsheet to kind of produce a graphical pass schedule but it is a painfully manual process to generate.
Thanks.

InstantTrack does, but it's a DOS program.

InstantTrack does that.
See the screen shots at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/instanttrack/screens.html or go directly to the relevant one here: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/instanttrack/scrn-vis2.gif

Well InstantTrack is a DOS program too. Sorry about that.

Jim,
As others have mentioned, ITrack works on Vista machines, including mine. You may need to fiddle with the window properties for sizing, but it gives you exactly the sort of display you asked about. Depends on what your threshold of pain is, I guess. ;)

I like the tabular output from the WinAOS module of SatPC32 (example below)... I find it much more useful than a graphical pass schedule: it not only tells me which bird will rise & set when, but how high it will get and the azimuth at AOS and LOS
WinAos QTH: -88.1/41.9 T#: 11284 Sat.: 7 [Standard] ---------------------------------------------------------- Day Object AOS (U) LOS Period maxEl AZ ---------------------------------------------------------- 23.11.2008 VO-52 04:46 04:55 09 07 230 - 322 23.11.2008 SO-50 04:52 05:03 11 10 339 - 080 23.11.2008 FO-29 05:11 05:26 15 70 011 - 202 23.11.2008 SO-50 06:32 06:46 14 41 331 - 129 23.11.2008 AO-27 06:45 06:52 07 02 055 - 115 23.11.2008 FO-29 06:58 07:09 11 09 351 - 258 23.11.2008 SO-50 08:13 08:26 13 26 315 - 178 23.11.2008 AO-27 08:22 08:36 14 44 020 - 179 23.11.2008 AO-16 08:32 08:44 12 12 036 - 144 23.11.2008 AO-27 10:02 10:15 13 23 359 - 228
