Very impressive work Dennis.

One of these frames revealed the location of NEO 2023 MU2, some 25 arc mins off, that is behind the plotted position, so it was lagging.

Are you downloading your elements from the latest ephemerides at the Harvard IAU MPC server?

Also check the calculated position in your software produces against a NASA Horizons ephemeris:-

Horizons outputs a very accurate topocentric ephemeris based on your observing location/altitude, essential for NEO's.
Great job
