    Except that the orbit is very stable, and the epoch of the elements precede your
    observation by only about 6 h, so the time residual would be expected to be much
    less. Perhaps there is an along-track residual that is making the time look bad.
    If you used ObsReduce, and can e-mail me the time-stamped image plus the
    relevant *.det file, I will review your reduction. (Am going to bed now, so no
    need to rush.)
