    NOTES:
    --------
    (1) Still experimenting for best geosat setup. This has a smaller field of
        view but better magnitude gain. Still have a problem in that telephoto
        lens/camera appear to change optical axis "square-on" and focus as
        camera moved around sky. Not serious but dont like such problems.
    
    (2) DSCS 3-1 # 13637 - 3 images taken ( I normally take 3 per satellite
        field) but only visible on one image - looks real. Satellite probably
        variable.
    
    (3) DSCS 3-5 #21873 not seen - last seen about a year ago - probably has
        moved location (note to self - check COGO)
    
    Cheers
    Greg
