Although, I'm facing a couple health challenges right now and not getting out under the sky very often. Orbitron does give me a chance (inside) to visualize the geometries (albeit flatly...) and I plan to use your predictions outside Ciel but use Ciel charts to visualize the tracks on--practicing "seeing" the track on the chart... Also, I plan (as soon as I'm able to get back outside) to take a chart out and circle all the faintest stars I can see to start getting a grip on what these 60-year-old eyes can actually see. > All but a couple of these have very small drag terms.
