    Observed from site 5918. As usual, I left my good equipment at 5919.
    I saw that USA 129 was on time, and Ir65 performed a predicted
    -8.3 flash. My father-in-law had a similar -7.1 from Ir46.
    Terra was easy and steady at mag. +4.2 (exactly as predicted with
    Skymap and mccants.tle std.mag +4.5) around predicted time
    19:39:54.
    I missed looking for the 14.70 elset for Mike's/Russell's
    object. Something appeared on a parallell track around 20:41 UT
    near RA 8:37 +45.5. Speed as expected for the 14.60 orbit.
    This could have been 20436 Spot 2 90-5 A
