The discrepancy in my results with Paul and Antoine intrigues me.
for the 20251215:
solveForOB_Moon = true;
solveForOB_body = true;
Corrected time = 06:31:57.9 s
solveForOB_body = false;
Corrected time = 06:31:46.9 s
solveForOB_Moon = true;
solveForOB_body = false;
Corrected time = 06:31:57.9 s
Since the case in bold agrees with Paul's result, the question is,
Paul, your Lunar 4 program corrects the altitude for Oblateness of the Earth ?
Best regards.
