Joe, I have found Orbitron's to be off when I download the keps from celstrak.com. I assume you are downloading them from there - correct? If so, try getting it from stoff.pl. I have always found them to be right on. I have checked N2YO's tracking program out before, and it is very dependable. If the two disagree, I would go with N2YO.

Thing is the two things do not agree at all where Oscar 7 is at. not even close. soo how do I tell who is right other than to wait for a pass from either one and see if i hear anything.
