I managed to measure the KMS-4 images after all: using Astrometrica, which I 
normally use for asteroid astrometry and telescopic imagery of geostationary 
objects, and taking advantage from the fact that the exposure time was so short 
that the stars are barely trailed on the image (otherwise it would have been 
impossible).

Astrometrica is not made for wide field imagery, and the fit of the starfield 
might be slightly iffy as a result. However, the observations fit reasonably 
well with elset 16059.82861935, to within a few arcminutes.
