In looking for unknown 90040 I saw two for which I'm
not getting good matches. The first one was north
of the predicted track and too high (didn't go into
the Earth's shadow) compared to the predictions for
90040. It was varying. The date is 2 June 2008 UTC.

The second one was south of the predicted track and
too faint but did go into the Earth's shadow as
expected. It seemed to be steady.
4:29:40 RA 13:20, Dec +3.5
I was at the house of friends a couple of miles or
so north of BCRC, which is at 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
The previous two evenings the NOSS 2-1 trio were
visible without magnification -- very neat! A week
or so ago one of the NOSS 3 pairs flared to -2.
