NOTES:
---------
(1) Looks like my cloudy season is starting rather early. There was
virtually no summer and now cloud every night often with rain
- rather unusual for this part of the world.
(2) Main purpose was to get USA 227 and USA 235 which I just got before
the rain came down. Managed to get everything inside before any
damage done - the tracking set-up has 230V AC and +15V DC exposed to
to weather so rain or moisture not welcome !
(3) Some magnitudes may be a little wonky due to photographing through
drifting cloud.
Cheers
Greg
