NOTES:
--------
(1) Main prupose was to find UFO-F02 which I failed to find last session.
During the day I used the radio equipment to establish that it was
still transmitting and the dish indicated it was fairly close to the
predicted position so gave me a clue in which sense the satellite was
"off".
(2) Despite what appeared to be a clear night the transparency was very
poor on account of high humidity and eventually I gave up in disgust
as visibility too poor. It had rained earlier in the day. Seeing was
unusually good - around 10 to 11 arc seconds.
(3) Next session I will switch to the wide angle 200mm Nikon lens and do
leo sats.
Cheers
Greg
