Hi,
if your scope has an ASCOM interface you can use the CDCHorizon applet.
Simply track the horizon with your aligned scope and have CDCHorizon
plot the horizon for you each time you push a button. Y! is having
trouble so I can't point you at the exact file right now but I'm pretty
sure it's there.
