    Hi Tony,
    
    Astra 1d should be 28 degs East(Its one of the astra group that is located
    with the newer birds) ...but it is not affected by the bug....only certain
    sats sem to be "bugged"
    if you take a look at http://www.lyngsat.com you'll see that they are saying
    Asta 1a info is unavailable in the tracking section....all very strange.
    
    Heavens above also locates Astra 1a ( 19688) over the Pacific !
    
    I am beginning to wonder if this is a bug associated with Y2K+1
