    Hi
    
    Herewith more positional observations secured evening 30 Jan 2001 UT
    and reported in usual IOD format. As usual my CoSaTrak system was used:

    21147 91 017A   0433 F 20010130201344270 27 25 0211560-815026 57 V+035 05
    21147 91 017A   0433 F 20010130201456290 27 25 1621030-784291 57 V+047 05
    
    83056D is on the verge of invisibility in my detection system so position/
    time determination was more difficult than usual.
    
    Apologies:
    In yesterdays message I said that it looked like Lacrosse 2 was off in
    geometry - MY MISTAKE. I had made an error in typing the tracking figures
    into the file used by CoSaTrak for tracking - I had a time error of 20
    seconds in all positions which caused the camera to track with an error
    of approximately one degree in elevation-hence my thinking geometry was
    off!
    
    More positions still to come.
    
    Cheers
    Greg

    please note that errors can and will almost certainly occur!
