This satellite is stationed at about W. Longitude 85 degrees,
where apparent midnight (i.e., mid-shadow) is about U.T. 05:40 - (Eq. of
T.)
The satellite varies in magnitude, but before and after eclipse
it is in full phase, about magnitude + 8 or + 9.
This has been a fun project ! I'm still extending it on clear nights,
and I am enjoying plotting Date versus "Duration." Try it.
How can I proceed to find the satellite's ID ?
