As seen in this GIF, the satellite sort of... curves around the center? When I'm zoomed in to 1°:

Steps to reproduce exactly what's in the GIF:
- Import these TLEs:
ORBCOMM FM20
1 25416U 98046D 26095.41360914 .00001352 00000+0 48992-3 0 9990
2 25416 44.9934 236.5698 0000946 230.8304 129.2460 14.37957522446318
- Select ORBCOMM FM20 (NORAD 25416)
- Set the location to 45.00°N, 00.00°E, Alt=0.00
- Set the Satellite Scope to Az = 89.6°, El = 18.8°, Beam = 1.0°, no lock
- Set the time to 2026-04-07T05:37:52+00:00 (Unix epoch
1775540272)
Despite the very specific instructions, I have observed this with several different satellites and locations.
With some locations and passes, there's less curving and more jittering.
