NOTES-
It is NOT dark at 6:15 with an ST80 and video..

ORS1 is off track..

I don't understand Milstar6.. AT ALL.. According to my display in Heavensat, it was 14 and 12 seconds off of the INT Position of 0
Days.. The 125 Day position was shown around 5 degrees East. 

NOSS 2-1A, Milstar 3, Milstar 6 (20 minutes later), Milstar 5R, Muos 2, Canyon 2Rk, and Mentor 4 RK are all quite near their INT
position.. They were all seen on TV, notes taken so they could be found in OBSREDUCE.. I was *quite pleased* my return to Satellites
went so well and 'quit while I was ahead'.. 

Came in to extract the video to the computer, and everything after the above reported positions was lost.. Now I am *quite miffed*!

Number of hot pixels on my Mintron 9 months later?? After a nice 80 degree day, I count 65.. Everywhere I look I see a cluster..
:-))
