    Bjoern was responding to an e-mail from Pierre Neirinck, which was not posted
    to SeeSat-L:
    
    > 66A 13jul 0010.55 at my zenith mag+2
    
    The object was about 60 minutes late relative Mike McCants' latest
    pre-manoeuvre elset:

    Coincidentally, I too have been looking at possible search orbits, and came up
    with this similar result, based upon a manoeuvre two revs earlier:
    
    1 79100U          01187.62515046  .00010000  00000-0  22279-3 0    02
    2 79100  97.9050 299.7512 0468000  19.3318   0.0000 14.74850000    06
    
    We can only guess at the time and magnitude of the manoeuvre, so it would be
    wise to allow at least several minutes uncertainty.
