    Method: Canon Digital Ixus 400 + ASTRORECORD astrometric software.
    Camera at manual mode, "10 second" (= 10.7 second) exposure, wide field
    f2.8/7.41 mm.

    Both objects flared, but not while the camera was open (see previous mail). 
    06-057A made a short fast orange-yellow flare to mag. -1.5 at 19:37:50, while 
    05-042A flared twice, a slow mag. -2 flare at 20:53:40 and a fast short mag. 0 
    flare at 20:54:10.
    
    The second of the 2 points for 05-042A might be a bit suspect as it was fading.
