    Slightly moist sky with streaks of clouds (widened out contrails), but still 
    good quality photographs. Watched the ISS/HTV pass about the time of docking - 
    they could not be separated in 20 x 80 binoculars.
    
    96-072A showed a bright slow flare peaking about 20:00:51 UTC (17 Sep), just 
    after the end of an exposure. I captured the rising part of it. Dropped the 
    points from that image though as my thumb was lazy on that exposure, resulting 
    in deviating delta T.
    
    As usual, data on the HEO objects will follow tomorrow, it is too late now and I 
    am going to sleep.  :-)
