get_visual_passes
ActiveTool of N2yo
declared in 0.1.0
Find when a satellite will be visible to the naked eye overhead from an observer location (visual passes = bright, sunlit passes against a dark sky). Returns start/max/end times, elevation, azimuths, brightness magnitude, and duration. Use this for "when can I see the ISS pass over?" Example: get_visual_passes({ norad_id: 25544, lat: 40.71, lon: -74.0 }).
