Field notes

The method notes name CelesTrak orbit data, GeoNames city coordinates, and Skyfield with SGP4 for pass calculations. The homepage says predictions refresh every six hours and excludes passes that fail its visibility conditions. It also separates the much brighter ISS from Starlink and links each city's results to its own ISS information.
