    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:

    Nice flares of 2001-044A (USA 161 Keyhole). Only one image yielded a measurable 
    trail though. It was on-time, but slightly off-track (0.05 deg cross-track) 
    relative to elset 06168.92967515.
    Likewise, 2000-047A (Lacrosse 4) was on-time, but somewhat off-track 
    (cross-track 0.12 deg) relative to elset 06168.90677443.
    
    I also captured a stray in the first image of Lacrosse 4, but still have to 
    identify it.
