NOTES:
-------
(1) Prime purpose was to re-locate USA 186 #28888 with a plane scan.
     Satellite acquired.

(2) Still a few more satellites to report observed during the approx
     80 minute plane scan. Quite difficult to get a full plane scan
     as satellite orbit so low my sky coverage is limited. In addition
     passes can occur in strong twilight - too low and sky too bright
     to image.

(3) Had a look for some ISON SO objects but elements too old to have
     much chance of acquiring the targets so a wasted exercise.

Cheers
Greg
