    Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.
    Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field
    f2.8/7.41 mm.
    
    What these numbers mean:
    http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html
    
    
    Back on-line and tracking with a new laptop ("Elvis") after a fatal crash of my 
    old laptop ("HAL") the 12th.
    
    Poor conditions: hazy. 97-064A trail very marginal, 05-016B trail good quality. 
    Dropped a second trail image on 97-064A obtained during its next pass as it was 
    too marginal.
    
    05-016B was 4.6s early and 0.11 degrees off-track with regard to an 8 day old 
    elset; 97-064A some 0.9s early and on-track with regard to similar aged elset.
    
    Female neighbour came by for a chat when seeing me photograph and watched 
    05-016B passing over Polaris with me.
