    My apologies for misleading the whole community (?)
    I discovered an ad hoc 11 min correction to Sun's RA introduced into my
    model for this satellite only !
    Result of removing this is for May 17  RA 15:47
    For Ed that is declination -5.2 at UTC 02:53,
    for Don -7.0 at 03:02 UTC
    etc.
    I hope this is indeed better.
