This program locates the Sun and Moon in real time using a full set of ephemeris factors. Gives azimuth, elevation, right ascension, declination, and range to each.

SAT_EXPLORER is a versatile software for tracking the Moon, Sun, and artificial satellites while controlling various antenna interfaces. Compatible with Windows XP and later (32/64-bit) and multilingual (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish), it integrates seamlessly with TRX-Manager for transceiver control. SAT_EXPLORER computes satellite and Moon positions with high precision, calculates EME Doppler shifts, and uploads real-time satellite positions and coverage maps to your personal web pages. Linux/Ubuntu users can run it using WINE or CROSSOVER.

The Beam project offers various features for controlling antenna rotators, including support for 2 or 4 line LCD displays, software or hardware clocks, open collector drives for azimuth and elevation control, and internal calculations for tracking the sun and moon. It can also track satellites and supports "Flip Mode" for inverted antennas. The 4-line version provides detailed readouts while the 2-line version offers a more compact display. New versions now support PWM and I2C H-bridge modes for adjustable speed control at the end of a move.

In this project by building a W2IMU feed horn, the author successfully optimized their 10GHz Small Dish EME project. To position and solder the components together, they used a jig and a conical section made of copper sheet. Stability was ensured by fitting the XLNA to the WG switch. The WG components were shod into a waterproof plastic container, and the feed horn and WG were surrounded by a collar and skirt that were 3D printed. With an average Moon noise of 0.5dB, the Sun and Moon noise readings were better than their previous configuration.

The purpose of the Moon tracking DLL is to provide an easily used platform for the calculation of the position of the sun or the moon and to provide the associated information often required for amateur radio operators interested in EME. DLL works with any of Windows versions of Delphi, Visual Basic, C and versions.
