/*
obs_tes2.cpp 12 December 2002
(Revised slightly December 2012 to fix compiler warning errors.)
An example 'main' function illustrating how to find which satellite(s)
are within a given radius of a given RA/dec, as seen from a given
point. The code reads in a TLE file (name provided as the first
command-line argument). Details of the observer position, search
radius, date/time, and RA/dec are provided on the command line.
For example:
obs_tes2 alldat.tle -l44.01,-69.9,10 -p90,30 -j2452623.5 -r10
would hunt through the TLE element file 'alldat.tle' for satellites
visible from latitude +44.01, longitude -69.9, altitude 10 metres;
at RA=90 degrees (6h), dec=+30; on JD 2452623.5 (UTC); within a
ten-degree search radius. (All of these are the default values.)
The output looks like this:
NORAD Int'l RA (J2000) dec Delta Radius PA Speed
08593U 74089DG 88.7235 22.9622 2293.0 7.15 225 10.75
15830U 85049D 82.5051 34.9711 32143.6 8.99 34 0.24
17642U 81053LQ 88.1471 32.6585 1428.5 3.24 213 17.60
21833U 91088A 80.6400 27.9649 36216.6 9.58 87 0.17
...with 'delta'=distance to satellite in km, 'radius'=angular
distance in degrees from the search point, 'PA' = position angle
of motion, 'Speed' = apparent angular rate of motion in
arcminutes/second (or degrees/minute). */
