96-72A (USA 129) is rapidly disappearing from northern skies. After a spell of very wet weather the clouds cleared last night, and despite a brilliant Full Moon I was able to glimpse 96-72A setting at about 9 degrees elevation in the north. After 9 days it was running about 0.2 mins early. I've computed an orbit using 7 observations made from the UK between October 31 and November 12 hoping that our fellow observers in the southern hemisphere will be able to pick it up. David.
