Notes:
-------
(1) Despite another extensive search I could not find #91052 so this is
now a DEADSEE satellite!
(2) #90041 remains a NOSEE satellite.
(3) First time Ive been able to accidentally pick up the same LEO
satellite, namely 71024D - Isis 2 debri. Wonder what it actually is
as its relatively bright.
(4) This concludes observations for 02 Jan 2006.
Cheers
Greg
