Woodsman trained to hold tip of refractor in the direction of a satellite (9)

'the direction of a satellite' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'woodsman trained to hold tip of refractor' is the wordplay.
'trained' is an anagram indicator (train can mean to shape or manipulate).
'to hold' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'tip of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'refractor' is 'r'.
'woodsman' anagrammed gives 'moonwads'.
'moonwads' placed around 'r' is 'MOONWARDS'.

'in' acts as a link.
