    Observed Lacrosse 5 (05-016A) and saw it briefly flare from mag. +2 to mag. +0.5 
    during about 2-3 seconds at 18:08:27 +/- 5 s UTC.
    
    Alas I have no positions to report. When trying to write the first image to the 
    CF card, a writing error occurred and the image data got corrupted.
    
    It is very windy here.
    
    Earlier this evening (from another location) I caught a glimpse of comet C/2006 
    P1 McNaught, in deep twilight a few degrees above the horizon. Not very 
    spectacular under these conditions but at least I have seen it.
