reductions done by APEX. (2) Due to a careless mistake in one of my programs I lost about 25% of the above so had to retype it from a printout I had made so there may be transcription errors. (3) Lost all the strays seen, including two unknowns, but too lazy to retype it now. May do it tomorrow when I check what was recorded on the video camera. Suspect 90070 seen running about two minutes early. (4)Now to fix that programming error - I suspect it may have caused me to loose a fair percentage of observations made over the past year or two!!!
