    I observed the duo of NOSS 3-1 (A) #26905 01040A and NOSS 3-1 (C) #26907
    01040C as they passed approx 5 deg to the N of Cygnus at 02:43 30 Dec UTC
    and then at 04:03 UTC i watched the duo of NOSS 3-2 (A) #28095 03054A and
    NOSS 3-2 (C) #28097 03054C pass to the South of Cygnus. Both of the NOSS 3-2
    objects were within the same FOV (5.5 deg), of my 10x50s, approx 16 sec
    separation and brighter than NOSS 3-2 r #28096 03054B which passed 6 min
    earlier. Bright enough that i was able to track them as they passed between
    the glowing Moon and Mars. Also NOSS 3-2 r flashed about every 13 sec which
    seems to indicate a slow tumble.
