    Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.

    The sky was very clear and I captured a nice batch of objects, including an 
    uninvited stray that turned out to be Kosmos 1689 Rk (85-090B).
    
    Lacrosse 2 (91-017A) was running as much as 7 seconds early (and clearly 
    off-track, some 0.14 degree) relative to a 4 day old elset.
    
    USA 129 (96-072A) did not flare this time but nevertheless shows up on 3 images. 
    The trails are faint though. I have it running some 0.9s late against a 2 day 
    old elset.
    
    Lacrosse 3 (97-064A) was running some 0.4 to 0.5 seconds early relative to a 4 
    day old elset.
    
    The stray (85-090B) was discovered in the second image taken of Lacrosse 3.
