Comment on Satellite Tracker – Live Map of Starlink and 30k Satellitesparent

Comments

Given the large R (Even starlink satellites are far away compared to positional accuracy needed) and probably pretty large angular error, your still talking error of kilometres, though with good optics you may be able to get this down to hundreds of meters. The other problem is knowing the position isn't trivial, since their position drifts relative to predicted and isn't known very precisely.

There is also the problem that as R shrinks, speed increases relative to you.
