Observations communicated on behalf of Paul Camilleri:

The astrometry places MUOS 5 at only 18 arcseconds from the position of my elset 
16186.93646397  (http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jul-2016/0014.html), confirming it 
has not been manoeuvering the past 6 days and is stuck in the GTO orbit below.

Updated orbit:

MUOS 5                                               15248 x 35697 km
1 41622U 16041A   16191.51847818 0.00000000  00000-0  00000+0 0    09
2 41622   9.8253 324.2659 3210009 178.8936 182.0471  1.52727370    09

rms 0.003                    from 16 observations Jul 3.46 - Jul 9.63

My own attempts to observe it last night were twarted by clouds in the wrong 
part of the sky.
