    The non-classified geosat 99-071A (Galaxy 11) again flared to naked-eye (maybe 
    mag. +3, +3.5) near 22:18 UTC. Classified object 02-001A (Milstar 5) is visible 
    on the same images as a fainter object slowly moving southward in declination.
    
    Streaks of cirrus and moonlight foged the images but both objects were no 
    problem. Thuraya 2 was captured on some images in the series as well.
