Notes:
(1) As a result of relocating 96038A on 26 November I had a rough idea
of time error and difference in predicted track, so I had a good
look at the tape and was able to see the satellite cross the
field of view in the top right corner and so able to get a position.
Although I think the observation is a good one please give it low
weight in any analytical work due to faintness of satellite.
(2) Tips (96029F) was quite easy - seems to like poor phase angle. The
first two observations were that of bright flashes which I think
came from the lower (hanging) mass - I could not see both masses.
The last two positions are that of the top and the bottom masses
when both were clearly seen as well as the tether connecting them.
(3) Tomorrow I will try and finish the remainding satellites not done
but will ignore a few as they are currently well observed and the
elements do not need correcting.
Cheers
Greg
