ASCOMSatelliteTrack download

The program has 3 distinct parts:
-Zarya_test: test the mount for ASCOM driver compliance with ASCOM standard. This first step allows to detect and fix noncompliances to the standard. Done only once for a particular mount.
-Zarya_ephem: automatically downloads the TLE from the Web (need to be less than 24h old), then from the observer specified location on earth, calculates the satellite trajectory in the sky for the location. Calculate side of pier, RA and DEC rates for a smooth tracking. Save in a CSV file which can be opened and user edited in MS Excel.
-Zarya: connects to the mount via ASCOM, load the CSV file with the pre calculated trajectory, position the mount where the satellite will appear and wait. At the time of the satellite apparition, starts tracking using variable rates. Automatically switch pier side if/when specified by the user. Stop at the last position.
