For years now I have been running Rob Matson's Skymap to predict passes. All fine till today, when it hung up while trying to predict passes of two sats for this evening, using the TLEs I just downloaded from Space-Track. The TLEs are: ATLAS CENTAUR R/B 06058 72041B epoch 05152.63983594 ATLAS CENTAUR R/B 06779 71116B epoch 05153.64553634 The elsets don't seem obviously bad ... It was OK if I used the TLEs I downloaded a week ago. It was also OK if I used current TLEs to predict passes for a period one week ago. Just the combination of current TLEs and predicting for today made it hang up: after a minute I had to press ctrl-C to exit the run. Work-around: I edited the TLEs out of the file and it ran OK. Thoughts welcome. I can send the TLEs and skymap.cfg to people to help diagnose this, but did not want to post TLEs to the list.
