    That's his option. Mine is the video system is better at detecting flashes. It can see fainter
    then my eye, and have a record of what I observed.
    
    Would have never found 90041, the unid in Dec, both flashing objects. Also with video system, I
    found what's called 90023, which I call milstar 1. Then the video system, confirmed flares from
    Inmarsat F4-2 ( 29988 ) and the Boeing HS702 series with of solar concentrators. And that I can
    see the APT'S with my eye's.
    
    So the video system improves my sat viewing, and allows for me to make discoveries, such as the
    above. So me like it alot.
