    Clear skies in twilight, some slight haze later.
    
    About 3 minutes before 07-027A another, somewhat fainter sat crossed the field 
    in a quite similar trajectory. I was just making the last check across the 
    printout map to see whether I had identified the correct star field so didn't 
    have the stopwatch in hand at that moment. For a moment I was worried it was 
    07-027A being very early, so I was relieved to see the real 07-027A sail into 
    the FOV 3 minutes later, followed by the C component half a minute later.
