Re: [amsat-bb] SUN keps ?

["Gary \"Joe\" Mayfield" <gary_mayfield@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is possible to generate keps to put in your tracking program that will 
follow the sun and or moon, but they will go stale after a while, because as 
Simon points out they are not the correct kind of bodies.  To generate keps 
that will work for a while try this program.
