Awesome stuff!! I'll have to check out this library tonight. I started hacking at something similar but started digging into the internals of SGP4/SDP4, then got distracted and never finished. If you have a rotator, it'd be a cool quick project to slap pyserial on there and control your rotator. It'd be pretty awesome to have a Kep to Rotator Control in about 10 lines of code :-) Joe
