[QUOTE="CharlesPhillips, post: 1908706, member: 397281"] This might be interesting to teachers, to amateur astronomers, etc. I am one of the (few?) people using Macs to in my satellite tracking hobby - if there are more they aren't very communicative! There is an international group of professional and amateur astronomers that track satellites, there are many good reasons to do this that I could talk about via email. Almost all of them use Unix and a few use Windows. So I track a bunch of satellites using my Macs, a used Nikon D200 DSLR, and my iPhone. No I have not found a way to monetize this yet! Though I have not tried hard. Yes there are web pages that help you track or observe satellites but they only give you a part of a larger solution. You can use Heaven's Above, etc to see satellites but I actually get "observations" and hopefully soon will be able to generate the orbits. If you are interested you could go to my (free!) web page of course: [URL unfurl="true"]https://sites.google.com/site/opticalsatellitetracking/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
