NOTES:
-------
(1) Purpose of session was to image Comet Lovejoy and observe
     USA 186 and USA 245 - all achieved.

(2) Lacrosse 5 has done a move - running late on predictions.

(3) USA 245 did a brilliant flare to about mag-2 as it cleared
     a local obstruction - might be last observation of it for
     my summer season as it went into shadow a few seconds later.

(4) Still have some images to image but do not think anything
     worthwhile -

Cheers
Greg
