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.
