IR fix for Lat and Long

Using the GOES IR navigational pointer for lat and long, Issy has not move much during the past 45 minutes, and the eye if filling in... here are my estimated locations for the center

at 0015 it was at 21.10N and 89.39W
at 0045 it was at 20.99N and 89.39W
at 0101 it was at 20.96N and 89.39W

thats only .04 degree south movement and no west motion in the past 45 minutes... and thats not moving much in my opinion... I can't detect any east component in its motion based on IR... yet

Questions beg to be asked now.
Is this the end of the west motion?
Is it now stationary?
Is it just a temporary stationary wobble?
Inquiring (but tired) minds want to know..

granted this is not a scientific method but does have some limited accuracy as long as the eye is visible....
