    The first batch of a very fine evening. As usual, this Pt. I reports on the LEO 
    objects, and the HEO objects will follow tomorrow in Pt. II.
    
    While the sky during the HTV-1 observation was still plagued by clouds, these 
    disappeared later and it became very transparant.
    
    96-072A was very bright (-1) while ascending through Aquila low in the south, 
    yielding some very fine-looking images (will post URL tomorrow). 05-042A 
    produced a slow bright flare to -2 around 21:10:35 UTC (12 Sep).
