    Canon EOS 60D + EF 50/2.5 Macro @ 2.8, 800 ISO + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.

    Obtained through a very thin cirrus cloud layer. nevertheless, reference stars 
    and trails well visible.
    
    The Centaur rocket (12-048N) appears to have stopped discernable tumbling. I 
    could see clear brightness variation. It was +1 short after shadow exit and then 
    generally +2 while traversing Cassiopeia.
    
    The NOSS 3-6 A & P objects were seen naked eye, steady +4, nice high elevation 
    pass through Perseus.
    
    NOTE: I have revisited the preliminary timing calibration, noting that my delta 
    T's came out 0.3s too early with respect to Ted's and Russel's observations and 
    the stray Kosmos 1867 visible on one of the images.
    
    In an earlier calibration session I logged severeal Iridium satellites, and 
    found two sets of delta T's in them 0.3s apart. I choose one of the sets as the 
    baselines but it now appears I should have chosen the other.
    
    (indeed, over the last year or so I had noted earlier, with the previous camera, 
    that some strays came out ~0.3s off. This suggests that some non-classified 
    tle's are off by 0.3s)
    
    This also means that my data from 16 and 19 Sep should be corrected by 0.3s.
