Eclipse duration is not correct in some cases #92

As far as I checked, the get_eclipse_duration returns durations that can differ in a few minutes from the one obtained with this method. In the 6 AM LTAN orbit, it returned 0 eclipse duration where there was still some eclipses.

Unclear if there's something to do here. Closing.
