On this final day of the year the weather cleared once again. Although cold to very cold, minus 10 degrees celsius with a strong easterly wind, I could observe several satellites. 96- 71 B isn't flashing so promently anymore. 65- 65 C is still beautifull to follow, as are 94- 85 B, 78- 18 B and 89- 16 A. The observations of today brings my monthtotal to 250 and the yeartotal to 1324. Don't let this discourage you, as I know not everybody has so much time to spent to this hobby and/or the good weather.
