Hi Norm,
I did this many years ago for OSCAR-11, and published an outline of the
procedure in OSCAR News.
The calculations were based on procedures written by James Miller G3RUH.
There is a package of files which includes the software, documentation
and original G3RUH articles. It's a long
Ooops! I forgot to say that the file is satill.zip on my website
www.g3vwv.co.uk
It's on the OSCAR-11 page and the general satellite page.

Thanks to all who responded. I found that Nova for windows will predict
eclipses. Still am reading g3ruh's articles. Looks like fun.

Unfortunately it's not a simple formula, but rather a process. To compute, you
need to not only propagate the satellite orbit (as is done in a tracking
program), but also need an algorithm to generate positions of the Sun relative
to the Earth. (The latter is available in a book called

Thanks for the pointers to texts. Meeus's tome has good reviews. I may try to
find an older copy of his book that deals with programming calculators. Simpler
for me to program.
This sounds like a fun project.
Seems to me once the heavy lifting is done (algorithm), calculation of eclipse
