Hello from the Boston Museum of Science-
Observed Noss 2-3 r just a moment ago... used elements from David Brierly:
NOSS 2-3 r 9.8 3.0 0.0 4.8 v
1 23907U 96029B 97171.44764608 .00017046 00000-0 12097-3 0 06

Object was 13.5 seconds later than expected and 0.5 degree east of the
expected location. These values were measured with our tracking telescopes,
and are quite accurate.
