good and seemed to be a darker than usual sky - possibly not so much high altitude pollution reflecting the city sky glow. (2) DSP 13 #18583 pretty faint. (3) DSCS 3-2 #16116 did a bright flash to about 5th magnitude, otherwise pretty faint most of the time (4) UFO-7 #23967 not seen - predicted to be about mag +14.5 but suspect fainter - poor evening phase angle as west of meridian. (5) As I have now observed the vast majority of faint geosats over my location I propose to change the optical system from narrow angle of 2 x 1.5 degrees to about 7.7 x 5.7 degrees which is more suitable for leo sats than geosats (geosats have too many objects in the field of view which is a real pain to measure and identify) but I cant go as deep as the narrow field since its a smaller aperture lens ( 48mm as opposed to 102mm)so loose about a magnitude.
