    Still have yesterday's observations to report, but these of this evening have 
    been given priority given the sparsity of 05-042A post-manoeuvre data yet.
    
    Obtained in a bright blue twilight sky (sun at -10 altitude), but the trails are 
    well visible on the images.
    
    The positions are close (within a second) to Ted's 70008 orbit estimate here:
    http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Jul-2010/0153.html
    
    Here's my attempt at a refined early orbit based on Alberto and me:
    
    USA 186 (KH-12)
    1 70008U 10195.   10198.87855662 0.00007043  00000-0  63789-4 0    01
