Curtis, until then, may I suggest Highfly from Mike McCants or SkyMap from Rob Matson. Every clear night, I print LEO objects from H-A and use Highfly for elliptical objects like OGO-1 (which I have not tried to see). For MEO and GEO objects, as Bjorn said, H-A will not give predictions, but SkyMap will plot them for you. I have not had much luck with it (user error ONLY, not a critique). So, I print off the predictions and pencil a path into to my erasable copy of Pocket Sky Atlas. I generally don't try to see GEO objects on purpose, but if I find one flashing, I use Findsat (again, from Mike McCants) to ID it.
