The ONLY problem with this method, is, Daytime while the moon can be
seen, it is usually very difficult on a camera, and then clouds,,,,, day
or night they kind of block the view,

K2UYH has a camera mounted on his dish. I love the felt tip marker on
his monitor showing where the moon should be!
Now, could you do something like use a capture card and OpenCV to use
the camera to aim the dish by observation rather than by prediction?
Could you track the ISS with such a device? If you could I wouldn't
want to get in the way of the rotator and beam as it swings. It would
probably bat you into LEO!
