I can not find anything matching your description accurately - could you
relate positions to stars instead of constellations (or plot the position on
a star map or the HA chart, and read the RA/Dec)
Also, can you specify the direction ("position angle") of motion (relative
to the vertical through the intersection of tracks)? "fairly level at about
50 degrees" = 270 degrees; ISS/STS = 202 degrees (at 55 deg alt)
There is also a problem with accuracy - my alldat.tle is very recent,
satbase.tle is a bit older than your obs.
I have DMSP F14 97012A # moving in 337 degrees, but 34 seconds before ISS,
(otherwise a good candidate) and Cosmos 1912 and Meteor 3-2 rk in 305
degrees, but around 1 and 2 MINUTES ahead, and IN Aquila at about 40 deg
alt.
Very close are #12858 77106C, but moving N-S (Dir=143) and #26196 99057CJ,
much higher, and moving straight up (Dir=359)
