(2) Now have a new assistant called GUCCI. Unfortunately not computer literate although he originated from a local university campus - so far has shown no interest in computers. However he keeps late hours ( as do most cats ) so may yet become an observer. (3) Used Mike McCants INT2 program to locate #90004 - the program actually works :-)) (dirty look from Mike and probable comment - "What do you expect!"- satellite was about 42 seconds late on the INT2 elements. (4) For the Dsat readers I attach a small file showing KH9-19. The regular flashing is very obvious and was about magnitude +6 at maxima.
