    Video observations from the evening of October 24th, 2013. Nice and
    cold gave for good conditions, though dew started forming. With the
    DSLR I performed an extensive GEO belt scan and hope to report
    positions for those tomorrow.

    Setup: Watec 902H2 video, 50mm F/1.8, NTP, Nexstar SLT mount
    IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html
    COSPAR 4171: 52.8344N, 6.3785E, 10m (WGS84)

    NOTES:
    ------
    1) I saw an unknown which turned out to be in an 86 deg inclined orbit
       with an ascending node close to the 99073 unknown I reported on
       October 6 (http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2013/0067.html). Hence
       I have labelled this as 99073 as well. Bjorn suggested it may be
       Iridium 33 debris, but on both occasions it was steady in
       brightness at around 7th magnitude, unlike what I would expect for
       debris. Furthermore, I do not recall any classified launches into
       86 deg orbits. I will try to provide search orbits for a given
       number of revolutions over the 18 day period between the
       observations.

       Cees
