Re: Observing satellites eclipsed on 1998-02-26

I used Track16 to predict all satellites in molczan.tle, that were
visible from New Caledonia 14:30-16:00, and from eastern Canary Islands
19:00-20:30 at 5-minute intervals. This was to reduce the time to
predict from the full molczan.tle. With the lists of visible CatNos
I ran my applysel.exe to create two subset tle files.

I then used solarecl.exe to create .cfg files for Skymap at the same
times, using the 1.4 multiplier on lunar distance, to get good views
of the penumbral center. I ran Skymap on all these, and extracted all
tags present in the plot files. This will hit a few satellites outside
the 0.7 degree (1000 km) limit of 50% illumination, and some that
pass a few minutes before or after the center time ( a satellite
can move 2500 km, and the lunar shadow 400 km in five minutes)
But I have no more time to make a more accurate analysis of these
passes until Monday, so here  they are:
