OK got your attention with the header ..
We all wish our birds were inclined ...err ..very sexist ..
;)
Seriously though ..
The figure 8 movement of an inclined satellite is a tricky enough thing to follow accurately ..
But my question is this ..
Given that the bird 'describes' this movement with presumably a loop above and below the true arc ..
..and that the degree of inclination is described as say 4 degree inclined ....ie ...+ or - 4 degree above and below ...making a total of 8 degees of shift..
Is the figure 8 described .. face on ..in which case it appears to shift laterally as well ..
..or edge on in which case it should appear as though moving only in a vertical dimension ...
..though occasionally being further away or closer to the observer..
