Default Tracking software, Mac

Anyone who can recommend a good satellite tracking program that works
on Mac OSX Tiger?

I've been using Heavens-Above for years now, so I'm afraid I've lost
track of Mac-based tracking programs.

I checked guide.apple.com and found a few programs that include
satellite tracking among other features:

http://www.southernstars.com/skychart/index.html
http://www.dogparksoftware.com/MacDopplerPRO.html
http://www.xtrememac.com/software/freefall.php

(I notice that the MacDopplerPRO page has a testimonial from
CBS science reporter Bill Harwood. Obviously he's using it
for tracking, not for pointing amateur radio antennas.)


Hope that helps.
