Hi Joe. good looking piece of work. I wondered whether it is related to or derived from a program I first used in the 80's by David Ransom Jr from LA called Astroclk. The last version of it that I saw was in 2001 I think, when it was version 126 or so.

I think Dave Ransom died a couple of years ago. I used his STSOrbitPlus through the 90's and it was excellent.

Cheers,
Jason.
