    Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.
    Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field 
    f2.8/7.41 mm.
    
    What these numbers mean:

    One KH (USA 161) was benevolent enough to raise itself above the brightness 
    treshold of my camera, albeit barely: the 01-044A trail was very faint. Lacrosse 
    3 (97-064A) trail very crisp and bright.
