No, it is fine to discuss satellite related software here.

For regular predictions, QUICKSAT is the best, most versatile program. I have
not seen another program that gives all the observing information that QUICKSAT
does. Mike has been very cooperative in adding enhancements when requested.
For higher satellites, the companion HIGHFLY is what I use.
For a visual representation of a sat pass across the sky, SKY MAP is great. It
is also helpful to see what was in a certain area at a certain time.
To predict Iridium flares, there is IRIDFLAR.
I use many other programs for other purposes. What else are you interested in?

Our newsgroup sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe
would be a perfect place for that.
