Starting point :
Lady Vega
Vega's LOP follows an "approximate straight line [on a chart]" going through points close from :
N35°30'/W077°13' from where we see Vega at [geocentric] height of 73°30' and Z=072.4° at 01:55:30 GMT
and from :
N36°30'/W077°34' from where we also see Vega at the same [geocentric] height of 73°30' and Z = 075.7° at the same 01:55:30 GMT
