NOTES:
----------
(1) Main purpose to do plane scan for OFEQ 5 - managed to do a
     101 minute scan. Have still to examine the 2000 odd images
     taken which will take me a day or two - at least 19 satellites
     seen crossing field of view so each to be still identified :-(((

(2) OFEQ 7 and OFEQ 10 NOT seen. Probably phase angle too poor
     so too faint ?

(3) Will post results of orbit scan but do not expect anything
     dramatic.

(4) One unknown seen - was taking 2 second exposures approx
     every 2 seconds, so the number of images is result of time
     it took to cross the field of view, so possibly a MEO object.

(5) Wifes birthday today so not much time for hobbies ....


Cheers
Greg
