Hi,
I find interesting to see the Astronomical Data information, specially
for those interested in EME comms.
However, there is a missing function to send the Moon Az/El data to a
rotator controller. So, the question is, would it be possible to include
a hamlib call for this task?
It is not easy to find a Moon tracking software for Linux, if any.
From the WSJT-X User Guide, Section 4.3:
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-1.9.0-rc3.html#AUDIO
"AzEl Directory: A file named azel.dat will appear in the specified
directory. The file contains information usable by another program for
automatic tracking of the Sun or Moon, as well as calculated Doppler
shift for the specified EME path. The file is updated once per second
whenever the Astronomical Data window is displayed."
Many people have written their own utility programs that read the file
azel.dat and control rotors for tracking the moon.
