In a beautiful sky I used 20x80 binoculars to recover 80-52C (KH 9-16) after 168 days. It was 0.8 mins early on the orbit I published on April 12 and 0.8 degrees off track. The new orbit using my observations from 2003 October and last night should be accurate for a few weeks, though ndot seems to be a little high, and more observations are needed. Although it's faint I've never seen it vary from the standard magnitude. More obs of KH and Lacrosses etc to follow. David.
