 Standard magnitudes for the Mir Complex
 ---------------------------------------

 From Russell's observations (1980 Jan 01 to 1995 Dec 31) I have derived
 standard magnitudes (1000 km, 90 deg) for the Mir Complex.


 1986            1986-017A    16   2.03 +/- 0.18   0.0063 +/- 0.0079
 1987            1986-017A    18   2.20 +/- 0.29   0.0039 +/- 0.0068
 1988            1986-017A    23   2.05 +/- 0.09   0.0038 +/- 0.0028
 1989            1986-017A    36   2.00 +/- 0.11   0.0088 +/- 0.0027
 1990            1986-017A    39   2.07 +/- 0.11   0.0103 +/- 0.0029
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 1986-1990                   132   2.06 +/- 0.06   0.0074 +/- 0.0016

 1991            1986-017A    21   1.77 +/- 0.11   0.0079 +/- 0.0027
 1992            1986-017A    34   1.65 +/- 0.09   0.0029 +/- 0.0024
 1993            1986-017A    22   1.75 +/- 0.09   0.0106 +/- 0.0027
 1994            1986-017A    39   1.59 +/- 0.09   0.0092 +/- 0.0027
 1995            1986-017A    48   1.55 +/- 0.06   0.0097 +/- 0.0017
 -------------------------------------------------------------------
 1991-1995                   164   1.63 +/- 0.04   0.0077 +/- 0.0011

 The actual standard magnitude is close to 1.6.
