This is very like what I saw the other night, http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jun-2007/0019.html Where I had to "flip" back and forth between the two objects, because the fainter 6th mag "D" object was about 4-5 degrees "off-track" from the others (to the west). If anyone is looking for these, be aware of this configuration of the two close ones. I'm still trying to "get" the B object - it sounds like Mike and Ed missed it too. The E object is the r/b and not near the payloads.
