Rate it as difficult with one bright flash to about mag +11, but rest of time near limit of my system. #96079 "recovered"-last observed 227 days ago. Appears to have a long period slow variability of small amplitude #96098 appears to be reasonably steady #96059 easy object #96060 slight variability #96080 first time observed, difficult faint object #96010 first time observed, easy object (4) Following objects NOT seen: 96041, 96044, 96060, 96135, 96138. Still have a few to check out but elevations currently too low so will wait for them to drift higher in cases where they do. (4) No tracking tonight - cirrus about and I want to spend some time putting together a peltier cooling system for the Meade camera.
