It has been a long time since my last obs for various reasons but this evening I managed to bag some of Lacrosse 5: 28646 05 016A 2751 G 20050508211550720 17 25 2310233+823050 77 S+045 05 28646 05 016A 2751 G 20050508211650960 17 25 1931603+631322 67 S+045 05 28646 05 016A 2751 G 20050508211708410 17 25 1921134+574419 67 S+035 05 28646 05 016A 2751 G 20050508211736590 17 25 1911864+495025 18 S+035 05 80mm refractor and 32mm Plossl eyepiece. Very clear conditions; temperature 5.3 degrees C. I also tried to observe USA 129 near Corvus. I picked up an object but I gave up following it as it was flaring repeatedly and rapidly to around mag 1. But a check against SkyMap suggests that this probably was USA 129. I have not seen this behaviour in this object before - I thought for a moment that it was tumbling.
