Kevin, you made one common error: your designations of stars A and B are inconsistent with your measurement of the fractional distance between them. That explains the huge difference in cross-track and timing between prediction and observation. Using the same stars and fraction that you used, but swapping A and B, I get: 27424 02 022A 1775 G 20050509063305960 17 25 2052286+333999 58 S+049 10 which agrees with prediction to within 0.017 deg cross-track and 0.138 s time.
