@skynoob-new — Here’s a first try I’ve made at explaining how to search for particular circumstances:

https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/blob/a7d7a2a2d163fa9f5731fbfeb4e71cccdef03b6e/skyfield/documentation/searches.rst

Let me know whether it makes you able to implement your own routine, or whether there are gaps in its explanation that it could do a better job of filling in.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I’ll try to make a new release this week or this weekend, so this new page can appear in the official docs.
