Introduction

WXtrack is designed to predict the tracks of weather satellites both as paths above the earth, and as images produced by these satellites when scanning the ground.  It was designed for use during the early stages of my satellite receiving activities, when clouds and interference prevented easy identification of what I was actually observing!

It can read processed satellite images from one or more folders of your choice, and present these images side-by-side with the ground track prediction.  To make visual correlation easier, minute markers are produced on the predicted image to match those on NOAA APT transmissions.  WXtrack can generate overlay files to allow an image processing program or SatSignal to add country boundaries and grid lines to existing satellite images.  You can register WXtrack here if you wish to say "thank you" or require technical support.  There are extra facilities in the registered version.
