Resum

The elimination of the parallax simplification may deprive the simplified Hamiltonian of the geopotential from some long-period terms of the second order of J2, thus, making the achievement of a mean elements orbit whose long-period effects are the same as in the osculating orbit unsuccessful. We show how the separation of short- and long-period variations is improved by choosing properly the generating function of the elimination of the parallax transformation.
