NOTES:
----------
(1) Prime purpose,after a cloudy spell, was to observe 90108 and
GovSat 1. Observed the latter with no problem but fooled by the Delta 2
rocket body 90034B which travelled same path,brightness,speed etc as
90108 and I followed the wrong one as the Delta came about 40 seconds
earlier than predicted time for 90108 so I was fooled!

(2) A slow moving satellite observed by accident - I do not find an
obvious match and called it 99999 in this report.

(3) The ASTRA 1 satellites rather tightly grouped at the image scale
used so a little scatter with positions of ASTRA 1L and ASTRA 1M - not
important

Cheers
Greg
