earth satellites don't calculate rise/set times. #10

Closed Short-bus closed 10 months ago

Short-bus commented 1 year ago

Current version of the code does not calculate rise/set times for earth satellites (ie International Space Station). earthsatellites have a different method find_events() which returns rise/set times. Code can recognise the different type of object and calculate rise/set times via find_events() instead.

Next version to be released fixes this. Satellite rise/set times are now calculated. Only proposes rise/set if the satellite will peak relatively high in the sky. So very low passes near the horizon are ignored.
