Reading the post of Grzegorz Koralewski's sighting and Russell Eberst's
identifying of Noss 2-3, i was wondering if anyone could update the elsets
for the NOSS trio. Here are the last ones i have for them:

NOSS 2-3 (C)     3.0  2.0  0.0  5.9 v
1 23908U 96029  C 98085.09465258  .00000015  00000-0  27352-4 0    09
2 23908  63.4280 333.8889 0021000 192.7034 167.2966 13.40284134    05
NOSS 2-3 (D)     3.0  2.0  0.0  5.9 v
1 23862U 96029  D 98085.09463623  .00000015  00000-0  27352-4 0    02
2 23862  63.4270 334.0602 0021000 160.3921 199.6079 13.40283872    07
NOSS 2-3 (E)     3.0  2.0  0.0  5.9 v
1 23936U 96029  E 98078.82737244  .00000020  00000-0  36469-4 0    05
2 23936  63.4270 350.0064 0021000 159.6362 200.3638 13.40284080    02

Below is the highly accurate sighting report by Grzegorz which should help
update the numbers. I don't know how to do myself nor do i have any star
charts to plot their course. Any help would be appreciated as i would like
to see the trio once again. Thanks
