    yes - looks like I missed that because I had #90041
    already under its correct designation which is DSP 6
    76059A 08916.  So its one of those satellites that can
    sometimes be quite dependent on phase angle to produce
    its flashing.  I know I used to look many times before
    I twigged onto the best phase angle to look!
    
    Ill correct my MATCHES.TXT file I first posted today 
    to show it as 96052 as well. Quite likely I missed a few 
    others....
    
    Incidentally the INT96 TLE's that Mike issues are 
    pretty close to where the satellites currently are - my experience 
    so far has been within 2-3 minutes of time. 
    
    If my understanding is correct Mike updated the 96*** elements
    using the ESA#10 report when it came out early in Feb 2008.

    Peter and I both observed this recently ( 16th and 17th Feb resp)
    and my notes say "easy" but again phase angle helps... 
    
    Cheers
