    NOTES:
    ---------
    (1) Local mountains had their first snowfalls over the Easter weekend-
        earliest in several years and taken to signify the start of winter.
    
    (2) Reason for so many "Strays" is that I thought I had an "unknown"
        so followed it for a while and identified all satellites in the
        various fields of view. Turned out to be  Ariane 3 debri which I had
        removed from my observing elements list - no use cluttering up the
        prediction screen with debri which is usually too small/faint.
    
    (3) Still a fair number of geosats to report - working on it.
    
    (4) No sign of UFO-F02. Looked several times during the session. May have
        been phase angle but usually quite easy to see.
    
    
    Cheers
