    NOTES:
    ------
    (1) Two bright unknowns, 99046 and 99047, were seen low in the North
        (20 deg elevation). Both seem to correlate with the IGS 8 launch
        from January 27, 2013. Ted Molczan provided search elements
        (http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jan-2013/0132.html) and those
        elements fit either object remarkably well. I have used Ted's
        79215 elset to fit the observations of both 99046 and 99047,
        allowing only for changes in the mean anomaly and RA of the
        ascending node.
