    The 1st point on TiPS is the center of tether. The 2nd point is the sat that
    was on top in my inverted telescope view. It split 2 stars 6.5 mag and 8.3
    mag .024 degree apart. ( Info from ObsReduce).
    
    #25744 was followed for 12 minutes dobsonian 8" telescope thru a high
    elevation of  86 degree, a personal record. The sat was at a altitude of
    1858 miles and a range of 1866 miles moving with a visual angular velocity
    of .12 degree per second, slow enough for me to keep up with it near zenith.
    ( Info from Element Manager and Idsat).
