[orbfit] Distance needs to update when predict made #353

Closed mtbannister closed 7 years ago

mtbannister commented 8 years ago

The call to predict() only gives sky position. Should work in an additional call to fit_radec: use that predicted sky position as a proxy sky coordinate to run another round of orbit fitting and give an updated barycentric distance. At present the barycentric distance given by str() doesn't update, which is a bit deceptive.
