    Thank you very much, Björn, for your extensive help on this
    one and also for the very kind words.
    
    The last two evenings, we (Mike and I Saturday evening and
    he and Fred and I Sunday) have ruled out some possibilities 
    (mean motion = 2.43, 2.51, 2.79, 2.87 and 2.93).  Tonight, 
    if the weather permits, we will be able to confirm or not 
    the elsets for 36 and 37 revolutions (as of July 30, mean
    motion = 2.58 and 2.65) from your message:

    I sure do hope we see this one tonight!  But if not, Tuesday 
    evening there's a predicted pass from the 38-rev elements 
    (MM=2.72).
    
    If we do confirm it in the next night or two, I guess its 
    pseudo-designation should be 05-683A since it seems it was
    first observed on July 2.
