    Russell Eberst reported these obs to me, and I verified that the agreement
    with expected orbit is excellent, and I was able to find it matching a MM
    close to my search elset. I have not yet matched this post-manoeuvre elset
    with my pre-manoeuvre observations, and the elset is not a proper OD - just
    trial and error, but it fits the time lap of Russell's obs within 0.2 sec,
    and his and my time within 5 sec and his positions within 0.2 deg.
    
    Once again I left my binoculars and stopwatch behind, so there is only one
    (IOD) position:
