25Keplers Equation for Hyperbolic Trajectories
OK this is going to be harder than it was for a
parabola!
Following the Circle/Ellipse Analogy, we
circumscribe an Arbitrary Hyperbola with an
Equilateral Hyperbola .I.e. a Hyperbola with
eccentricity After that the process pretty
much duplicates the Elliptical derivation
