    Sue Wheatley wrote The Astronomical League's observing program
    for Earth Orbiting Satellites:

    Looks like a worthwhile program:

    I see that the administrator is in the Colorado Springs area,
    which leads me to suspect that he may have some ties to
    the folks who track these things for a living. Let' see what 
    google turns up. Here's something from 1999:

    My response was:

    Anyway, the Astronomical League does appear to have a good program,
    and their exclusion of U.S. spy sats is understandable given their
    circumstances.
