    Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.

    05-042A was captured just after it brightly flared to mag. -2 at 21:13:06 +/- 3s 
    UTC. It was as much as 9 seconds early and 0.10 deg off in cross-track with 
    respect to 4 day old elset 06249.87384698, and 2.5s early with respect to 
    Russel's observations 25 hours earlier: is it manoeuvring?
    
    96-072A: faint trail, about 1s early relative to elset 06249.88553102
