Hello all,
For a fun project (my smart lighting), I am looking for a function which outputs the azimuth and elevation along with the associated timestamps of an earth-orbiting object at a given location on earth.
Much like the info on https://www.heavens-above.com/. Unfortunately, they never published an API. So I like to try this myself now. Also, I want it to accept TLE's and not some catalog id.
Publishing the API is easy. But I need some help with the math. Anybody who can help me work this out or can point me to some resource to start from?
Thanks!
