Notes:
=========
(1) Despite a very bright twilight sky X37B-OTV-1 was very easy the
entire pass, running within half a second of predictions. Pity that
our other satellites are not as well behaved :-))
(2) Appear to have solved all my equipment problems.
(3) Reductions done manually as sky too bright for using APEX as
insufficient stars and anyway I was using video.
Cheers
Greg
