Last night was not the best night to go hunting for the 77-112 (NOSS 2) objects which I estimated might be running 6 minutes late. Light mist was lit by the Full Moon low in the south. In the event, the three I saw, D, E and F, were only 4 minutes late. The following orbits fit the observations very well, but the values of ndot are the mean values since the objects were last observed on day 127, and may be too high: NOSS 2 (D) 7.4 v 1 10529U 77112D 00199.02816822 0.00000846 00000-0 40506-3 0 02 2 10529 63.3742 249.1562 0661926 13.8469 347.9544 13.41336281 02 NOSS 2 (E) 7.4 v 1 10544U 77112E 00198.97649658 0.00000855 00000-0 41268-3 0 09 2 10544 63.3754 249.5595 0660063 13.7945 348.0174 13.41326602 08 NOSS 2 (F) 7.4 v 1 10594U 77112F 00199.01578156 0.00000747 00000-0 37545-3 0 07 2 10594 63.3776 251.7872 0650529 7.0586 353.9099 13.41289442 04 The three 83-56 (NOSS 5) objects I saw were less than a minute late. I could see Comet LINEAR in 20x80 binocs, but it was no brighter than mag +8, and the tail about 5' long.
