Stellarium is a great piece of software that you can use for various aspects of astronomy and astrophotography. Software: ASCOM platform, SynScan, PHD2, Stellarium, APT The current version (as of this update) is 0.20. The walkthrough has been updated to reflect these changes which came into effect from version 0.19. Since the recent update though, Stellarium no longer needs that and can operate telescopes from within itself. Since originally writing this walkthrough Stellarium has been updated and I referenced the StellariumScope standalone program for telescope control within there.
It’s simply what I use and I wish to share how I go about my imaging with you. I need to also say that I’m in no way affiliated with any of this software or hardware and nor am I receiving any form of payment for endorsing it here.
If the Satellite broadacast in frequencies that can be received by general public or amateur radio operator, they will be listed by Stellarium if available.I need to stress that I can only say that this works with my own set up, so there may be differences between mine and what you use. The satellite and the observer are in sunlight. Visibility of the Staellite (4 situations). Using the True Equator Mean Equinox frame as reference. TEME coordinates are the coordinates using the True Equator Mean Equinox frame as reference. SubPoint is the coordinates of the point on earth where the satellite is directly overhead. Altitude is height of the satellite above ground in kilometers. 
Range rate is the parting/closing rate in kilometer per second useful for calculating Doppler shift necessary for communication. Range is satellite distance from the observer in kilometers. Satellite catalog number, a sequential 5 digit number given to the satellite by USSPACECOM and International designator which is an international naming convention for satellites.
