    NOTES:
    ---------
    (1) Balance of observations made 13 November 2012.
    
    (2) Again observed purely by accident BREEZE M DEB 12044CL. This
        must be quite a large piece as bright and steady.Previously
        seen 31 Oct 2012.
    
    (3) Another low inclination geosat observed not found in my
        element database. The previous one was an Intelsat drifting
        to a new location -- whilst the one before that has not been
        identified with any particular object so what have we got this
        time - a real unknown or another drifting Intelsat ? Magnitude about
        same as previous two "unknowns" - about mag +12.5 steady.
    
    Cheers
    Greg
