I haven't seen so clear and dark skies in 20 years ! Usually I
take positions berween one known star and one nearby, but with
hundreds of stars in the 7x50 field I can't memorize the star
pattern reliably. Will a tape recorder help? So, this time all
observations are star appulses closer than a degree or 1.5, so the
accuracy is lower than usual.
NOSS 2-2 objects were more spaced than predicted, both along- and
cross-track, USA 81 24 sec.late from mccants.tle 990811, and USA
116 was 11 sec. late and flared to +1 +2 +0 about 18, 8 and 4
seconds before the observation in Peg-And. Of course I saw many
objects on time and several unids later identified in mccants.tle,
while looking at, and photgraphing?, many Perseids. I saw four
non-Perseids in about half an hour, when I was not operating
computer, camera, binoculars and pen and paper.
