Notes:
(1) Errant point of 96072A remeasured - dont know what happened- maybe my
mouse wasnt totally dead and did a little creep!
(2) Sat #07816 tracked for about 3 minutes and only this brief flash of
about 2 second duration seen
(3) Sat #23769 not predicted, looked "interesting" so measured one point
but turned out to be KoreaSat 2 rocket - interesting orbit.
(4) Sat #18009 NOSS 8(E) did a nice bright flare to about 4th magnitude
for a few seconds.
Cheers
Greg
