Notes:
------

(1) Steady at magnitude +10

(2) Geostationary at magnitude +10.5. Image did not trail much so low
    inclination. Appeared steady.

(3) This concludes unknowns for 09 May - seeing and transparency was
    excellant and could see stars on the monitor down to magnitude +13
    in "real" time.

Cheers
Greg
