    First "clear" night since IGS2 launch - in town - misty.
    Searched 22:43 to 23:17; first 15 minutes in 7*50 only,
    then mainly at 1x. Three strays + one bright flash left of eta UMa 23:13:30, 
    going in DIR=330?
    #08293 75087A  METEOR 1-22 matches speed, time, DIR?
    
    Only one IGS? object seen!
    Below predicted track, though 52 s late (if IGS2 satellite)
    Matched predicted DIR and speed.
