Live and learn. After the close approach of asteroid 2012 DA14, we learned not to trust astro planetarium programs for these type of objects. Horizons and MPEPH are the gold standards.

An IOTA member reported observing just a 9s discrepancy between the SATFLARE simulation and the observation of Tiangong-1 on Saturday so it was pretty close.
