This is based on Alberto's 2nd point, one I quickly grabbed from Kevin's video and the above:

My impression that the increased mean motion was due entirely to drag was wrong; it was due almost entirely to a
manoeuvre lower.

The position from Kevin's video was a close appulse of a mag 6 star that I took to be coincident. I will share it here,
but it should be discarded once Kevin issues properly reduced points.
