    Details of OE pass last night, using lead object as positional guide.
    
    30774 07 006C   8336 F 20070514022147470 17 25 1845636+795657 37 S+070 10
    30774 07 006C   8336 F 20070514022235000 17 25 1838399+623497 18 S+070 10
    30774 07 006C   8336 F 20070514022244750 17 25 1838729+595091 38 S+070 10
    
    Then 30772 followed as:
    30772 07 006A   8336 F 20070514022148190 17 25 1845636+795657 37 S+050 10
    30772 07 006A   8336 F 20070514022235850 17 25 1838399+623497 18 S+050 10
    30772 07 006A   8336 F 20070514022245720 17 25 1838729+595091 38 S+050 10
    
    Note that I assumed 30772 hit same point as 30774. Separations were:
    
    2:21:47.47 lead
    2:21:48.19 lag
    2:21:56.50 lead Not listed above - doesn't fit well
    2:21:57.25 lag
    2:22:35.00 lead
    2:22:35.85 lag
    2:22:44.75 lead
    2:22:45.72 lag
    
    And I saw them as about 0.5 deg apart when highest near Polaris.
