    Many thanks George,
    
    no problem to add the user location directly in the url (the system already 
    saves your
    last position so you don't have to enter it every time you load the page).
    
    The system computes flares from both active and spare satellites (marked with 
    + and S),
    and ignores the tumbling Iridiums. 
    
    Currently I have defined only 3 reflective surfaces, which are the 3 MM 
    Antennas. 
    
    Best regards,
    Simone
