NOTES:
-------
(1) Main purpose was to locate 19976 - VORTEX 6 which had done an
orbital change which is done roughly every 200 days.
(2) AEHF1 looked for but not found - had no real idea where to look.
(3) Conditions first half of session very poor with thick cirrus so
unable to observe some planned leos. However cleared up later
and conditions good.
(4) The LEO satellites, observed with the video system, will hopefully
be reported later today - the satellites are:
37169 SBBS1 rocket
24680 USA 129
37162 FIA RADAR
