    NOTES:
    ------------
    (1) Prime purpose was to find USA 129 and check on other KH satellites.
    
        Believe USA 129 found running about 3m45s early.
        USA 186 running about 37 seconds early
        USA 245 running about 69 seconds early
    
    (2) Alexis rocket running about 27 seconds early.
        IGS 5 rocket running about 23 seconds early.
    
    (3) Unknown seen - geostationary. No obvious match.
    
    (4) Seem to be seeing a fair amount of debri - 2 pieces each from 70-025
        and 13-066 launch - seen by accident
    
    (5) For next few days plan to experiment with several reflecting
        telescopes - 8 inch f/3.67, 10 inch f/5 and in the not too distant
        future a 10 inch f/3.5 ( at the moment trying to remove the present
        aluminium coating before it can be refigured) - and then decide which
        one to concentrate on for geosat imaging.
    
    Cheers
    Greg
