Hi Sean,

Glad to hear it got that use. I started out writing Find_Orb
thinking in terms of "educational" software, both for people
interested in learning about how orbital mechanics works and for
my own education. Other missions have crept in since then, but
a bit of Internet searching does find a lot of student use.
