Hi all :)

We're currently working on a fork of  "predict", a software that can compute 
stallites trajectory, aiming that we could compute ISS transits on SUN and 
MOON.
But, we have pbs, because accuracy of Sun trajectory and moon tajetory are 
bad. (and we are poor programmers ...) 

So, as Kstars have (I think) a good accuracy for Sun and Moon position, i 
wonder if we could add a plugin (or other ways) to compute ISS (or other 
satellites) trajectory with TLE's. (Three Line Elements, Keplerian elements 
of orbit)

Clear skies,
