    NOTES:
    --------
    (1)Looked fairly promising so set up shortly after dark, however
       cloud came and wiped me out and eventually had to abandon when it
       started drizzling.
    
    (2) Had a look at USA 237 -- or at least tried ! - and in a very
        brief glimpse it appeared to be where it was predicted so has
        not moved but conditions too poor to be 100%.
    
    Cheers
    Greg
