    On Sep.3 I was trying to image IGS 1A and 5A in one 10s, 11.7 by 20.8
    deg exposure.
    But apparently my aiming was poor - 5A was above the top right-hand
    corner when it started.
    
    OTOH I got a bonus - METEOR 1-11 #05917 and the SL-8 R/B #29659 (both
    unseen!) were also in the image (soon to be in my Facebook album,
    along with the IGS 1A reduction).
    
    I have detected stars down to magnitude +10.8 in the image.
    The 2-sec self timer was used to minimize shaking.
    The image scale is 192 px/deg
