Hi, I made StarLeak because I wanted to know which Starlink satellites are actually overhead where I live. It pulls orbital data from CelesTrak and computes positions client-side in the browser (elevation/azimuth/range), estimates Doppler shift, shows a map with sunlit/eclipsed status, has a naked-eye visibility filter with optional notifications, and can export the next visible pass as an .ics calendar file. Free, no account needed: https://starleak.london.li/

Known limitation: accuracy depends on how fresh the orbital elements are (shown in the page header), so treat predictions as approximate, especially for objects re-entering or maneuvering.

What would you recommend for high precision tracking if someone wanted to, say for example, intercept them, ballistically?

Please do NOT create a Kessler syndrome scenario in Earth's orbit

It's low earth orbit. It'll be fine.

if this ends in an actual kessler event please leave starleak's uptime out of the incident report

Look, I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I don't own a rifle that powerful. No way can I make that kind of shot
