We have a high pressure and also for once got dry winds, so I tried with 7*50 from the city for USA 116 and 161 on March 31 around 22:34+-5m UTC, but missed both. To Malma after watching Rob Becker's monologue "Defending the caveman" on a Stockholm theatre, it was too moonlit to find KH 9-18 in the west, too late to see USA 116, or to wait for next pass, but I did find USA 161, just 40 seconds early on the 04022 elset, but almost two degrees high, so it may have maneouvred slightly ? I have two alternatives for the first obs, for I failed to record if the 20% split was from the upper or the lower star in the 0.18 degree split. The 20:40 RA gives 0.4 s alongtrack error compared to other obs, but is OK cross-track, which 20:39 isn't.
