NOTES:
========
(1) Two new ones -
96027 last observed 2008 YD 098 MENTOR 2 rocket - TITAN CENTAUR
96041 first time amateur observation - unknown identity
(2) 96025 Steady and quite easy. VORTEX 4 R2 transtage
96027 Steady, very easy, MENTOR 2 rocket (Titan Centaur)
96041 Slight variability, visible all the time, fairly easy
96076 Slight variability, not that bright. VORTEX 3 R2 transtage
96103 Variable - looks like its doing regular small flashes, visible
all the time. CANYON 6 Rocket (Agena D)
(3) Ive departed from convention. Normally I report the brightest object
in the "constellation" of 4 satellites as PAN. However this time
SPACETRACK agrees well with three of the sats - GALAXY 11,
INTELSAT 802 and E-BIRD so Ive called the "misfit" PAN. If I followed
previous convention then GALAXY 11 is PAN.
Cheers
Greg
