I just tried to compare the predictions obtained with your app with what I get from Heavens-above.com (for Paris). for each pass I can see a few minutes difference. I have underlined some of them in the screenshot below (on the left is heavens-above.com, your app is on the right). Have you noticed that too ?
thanks !

I was able to reproduce this behaviour, seems like it consistenly is off by a few minutes and also has the incorrect Azimuth and Elevation data. (Time on the right side is UTC)
This is weird since I am pretty sure that I cross compared with N2YO and other pages a lot when I initially wrote the program. But it is possible that I introduced an error somewhere that accumulated over time. According to the library used the error should not be larger than 1KM:
The SGP4 implementation is accurate in the KM range meaning the calculated position of an object can be off by around 1 km
I would assume that this is an error introduced by me and not the library and that you can safely implement the pass prediciton in your program. But I would have to do some further digging into it to confirm this suspicion and hopefully fix my bug as well.
Sadly I have a lot of other projects going on at the time. I am not sure when I will get around to fixing this.
I have compared the passes (all passes, in local time) obtained in my app with N2YO and I can see pretty similar results:
I don't see anything wrong in your code (btnCalc_Click). I see you're using a different source for the TLE. Could it be the root cause why you're seeing inaccurate results ?
Nice App, Congratulations !
I am also using OneSgp4 library in my app and I'm considering adding passes predictions. I can see you have this in your app:
SatWatcher/SatWatcher/Forms/PassCalculator.cs
Line 52 in 3d1bcdd
