Joe,
What tracking program is that?
I was thinking of making my satellite icons configurable. This way the
satellite would look like the actual satellite. Even better, I could store
collada models for them and load them in place of the icon. Oh la la,
that's an idea.

Azimuth. It's much easier to project this and the user is generally
interested in an unobstructed LOS with respect to his/her location.

are "cut outs" in the circles surrounding NASA's ground stations - the
software has clearly implemented the idea Ken outlined above. For example,
there is apparently some obstruction to the south east of the Hawaiian
tracking station. If the sub-satelite point is inside the white line it's
AOS. The surface of the earth visible to the shuttle, on the other hand, is
simply a red circle, just faintly visible in this image.
