    Tonight I think I have accurate points. My post of 2 days ago was way off,
    above says 4.6 seconds early on following.
    NOSS 3-2 (A)     4.0  2.0  0.0  5.5 v
    1 28095U 03054A   03362.05507167  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    04
    2 28095  63.4170 238.4221 0127000 179.2188 180.7812 13.40481022    07
    
    An unknown was seen in fov with #28095 for a long time as they had a similar
    heading. I marked the time when they appeared the closest at 23.46.58.34 .
    IDSat has Cosmos 1137 / #11545 with a tracking degree of 156 and #28095
    tracking degree of 140. It was fun to watch.
    After the last point was taken on Noss 3-2 A, I then moved back to pick up
    #28097 and started marking points. At 23.51.21 I was able to mark a time
    close to a distinctive triangle of two 7 mag and one 6 mag stars. After
    using that to verify its time I used ObsReduce to locate star appulses for
    other points.
    It was cold with wind chill being entirely too much. I set up telescope for
    this obs only. My starting place was under Polaris, which made it easy to go
    inside after initial setup and come back to still be pointing to the right
    spot.
