Changes for version 0.058 - 2013-11-25

  • Handle undef period in pass(). At the moment it's handled by fudging in 90 minutes, which is bogus, but lets me experiment objects whose motion is defined by a list of positions. Add a paragraph on how passes are detected to the Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE pass() documentation. In the satpass script, implement 'sky lookup' in terms of Astro::SIMBAD::Client script() rather than query(), so that we do not need SOAP::Lite.
