Notes:
-------
(1) Whilst carrying out some tests I choose an area of the sky
    recommended by Mike McCants - namely the same area as which
    I had seen #91037 with the hope that I might see it again.

    A bright satellite was then observed for which I cannot find
    a match and I strongly suspect that the object now called
    #91038 is in fact a second observation of #91037 as the
    inclination and RA of Node are very similar. #91038 was about
    magnitude +4 and had some slight slow variability in the
    short period observed. The standard magnitude works out at
    about 4.4, inclination about 63 degrees, RA Node ~ 29 degrees
    so probably highly elliptical orbit with e = 0.7?

    For our orbit analysts I repeat the observations of #91037
    again.

(2) I have about a dozen strays still to report but will do when
    I have finished studying the DVD recordings of 28th and 31st
    July 2005

Cheers
Greg
