Default geosynchronous satellites

Hi Folks:
I've been using the keps for Galaxy 11 and find the bird only to
be right with new keps.. Realizing the satellite is adjusted to be at
the same place all the time, I experimented with Mean Motion until I
found the perfect value with Starry Night Pro.
The perfectly still Mean Motion for geosynchronous orbits is
1.0027978811
I then manipulated the Mean Anomaly to put it at the right azimuth. I
left drag and eccentricity 0.
I'll have to visually see the satellite to get it exact, now. Galaxy
11 will be eclipsing Mars (almost) November 22.. Many other
geosyncronous birds are, I suppose. Good if you need to see if your
satellite dish is in a good spot to see the birds!

Take Care!
Harry
