    Paul Maley sent me his video, from which I reduced the following observations using ObsReduce:

    IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html
    
    Site 0000: 29.6049 N, 95.1069 W, 6 m
    
    To my knowledge, Paul's site has yet to be assigned a permanent ID, so for now I have set it to 0000.
    
    The details of each reduction, as well as the video frames used, are in the following file. It is impossible to
    distinguish between the satellite and the stars without referring to an ephemeris plot or the reduction details, so this
    file probably will be of interest only to analysts who may wish to verify or make their own reductions.
