Thanks, Mike,

the bad weather improved during sunset, became impossible by the time of
first Alexis rk pass, then cleared sufficiently for some three minutes
around the next !

I got one track only. But on the same image, there was another track, also
appearing on three more images.
Though the SpaceTrack file on my wife's laptop, which I had to use for the
first time in two months, was not updated, it had a very good match to Spot
7.
