    Using a cell phone as a stopwatch. Garmin GPS 60CSx. 7x50 binoculars. 
    Heavensat 2.1.9. ObsReduce 1.3.
    
    NOSS 2-1 C/D/E. Even naked eye visible. Strange... At my first 
    observation, the first sat (20692) definitely appulsed a bright star 1.5 
    seconds early. Couldn't match the two other sats in ObsReduce.
    
    20692 90 050D   5055 G 20091014190607890 37 25 0311938+742361 37 S
    
    Second observation about 2.5 minutes later, the trio passed an L-shaped 
    bunch of stars. I rehearsed to myself: "75%, 50%, appulse L". Could 
    easily spot the stars in ObsRed. But now 20692 is only 0.7 seconds 
    early, 20642 is 1.4 sec early and 20691 is only 57 ms late. Very big 
    difference indeed.
