John Magliacane's program named PREDICT will track the sun, the moon,
and up to 24 satellites of your choice.  Versions are available for
MS-DOS (will also run under Windows) and Linux.

For the sun and moon, no external data are required.  For the other
(up to) 24 satellites, standard 2-line Kep files are used to provide
the current orbital parameters to the program.

Nice program.  And if there's anything about it you don't like,
the C source code is available for you to modify to your heart's
content.
