    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

    NOSS 2 (E)                      7.4 v     
    1 10544U 77112E   00198.97649658 0.00000855  00000-0  41268-3 0    09

    NOSS 2 (F)                      7.4 v

    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.
    
    David.
