If I create a J2 predictor with LTAN 22:30 (so LTDN 10:30), and then request passes over the target at lat:0 lon:0, with off nadir close to 0 degrees (max elevation greater than 89.5), I would expect to see passes with TCA at 22:30 or 10:30. But I get passes at 22:40 and 10:40 instead:

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or it's something related to the geometry of coordinates and the orbit, that I ignore.
