You can see that between 1800HRs (GMT) and midnight, it stayed within the top 1.5degrees of its 'figure eight'. This might help you footy fans knowing where to peak your dish. The attached animation illustrates the Astra 1C figure eight movement (last October). Incidentally, the inclination last october was +/- 3.8degrees, today, its more like +/- 4.16 degrees. Maybe the 'old girl' is down to the last few drops of fuel. Or it might be down to something like the Earth being at Spring Equinox, but i thought that would have been better for inclined orbits?
