    Hi All,
    
    Using this TLE:
    
    ISS (ZARYA)
    1 25544U 98067A   03135.48473194  .00011619  00000-0  15101-3 0   127
    2 25544  51.6307 184.5710 0006298 116.4433 319.0011 15.59274485255903
    
    here are the centerline coordinates at 10-second intervals for all
    ISS lunar (silouette) transits from 2:00 UT to 5:00 UT during
    tonite's lunar eclipse.  Much of this occurs over ocean, but the
    second orbit goes right through the midwest U.S. and eastern Canada.
    I'll work on plotting this track on a map:
