    Congratulations on your first positional observations.
    
    Comparing against elements less than 12 h old, reveals the following residuals:

    A good first effort, especially 06044A.
    
    Your 06044A cross-track residual of 0.01 deg is excellent, similar to that
    routinely achieved by the best observers.
    
    Your 91055A obs has a large cross-track error. If you will e-mail me your
    ObsReduce details file (i.e. the *.det file), and if possible the video frame
    you reduced, I may be able to spot the problem.
