(1) #31702 observed through small gap in tree.
(2) #28546 range 27000 kms - easy
(3) #90077 range 12740 kms - easy
(4) #90022 two bright flashes seperated by about 67-68 secs,invisible in
between
(5) Ive been busy with radio tracking on S-band frequencies. Unfortunately my
preamp
blew up a few days ago so until its repaired I have withdrawal symptoms to
decided
to do some optical tracking to alleviate the problem.
Cheers
