    Canon EOS 450D + EF 50/2.5 Macro @ 2.8 or EF 100/2.8 Macro USM,
    800 ISO + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.
    What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    
    05-042A trails well defined and the positions should be okay. The 96-072A trails 
    were very faint however, so treat those points with caution.
    
    Data on 05-016A and 03-009B will be reported tomorrow, as I am too tired now.
    
    I did an experiment with using the Canon EOS 450D (hooked by USB to the laptop) 
    as a film camera, and managed to get some nice footage of 05-016A passing 
    Pollux. Not usefull for position work, but fun nevertheless. Will post an URL to 
    the short movie tomorrow.
