Hi:

I've used a couple of sat tracking programs over the years, most notably STS
plus. But these days I find that Cartes du Ciel really does everything I need
in this regard.

Peace,

HI Viktor:

A wonderful program, but far, FAR more than what I and most amateurs need. ;-)

Try Orbitron. It's "postcardware" and works great...

Can you see satellites with a telescope? What do you see just a blob or
something?

You can use a telescope to see the satellites but they move pretty
fast and keeping one in view is not simple. Some place on the WEB I
saw a space station photo from a 8" scope, it was VERY nice and you
could see details.
