    > ---------
    > (1) #37169 little difficult - max elevation about 15 degrees and variable
    >    in fairly bright twilight sky
    > (2) #37168 maybe variable. Easy at culmination but faded quite a lot
    >    before end of pass- maybe more than one would expect from phase
    >    angle
    > (3) #37162 easy entire pass, no variability except phase angle
