I realize you're probably only doing this because the long nights and bitter cold of Canada this time of year have you going mad with cabin fever, but I think its sweet of you to do this, Paul. I got all excited and dashed to my Skymap program to try this out and see what came up. However (sigh), I got a message on the Eccentricity of 10. Skymap says "Enter a value between 0 and 2". So I can't confirm or deny your elements.
