but transparency not as good as previous time but still good. Except for a few satellites that are too low to observe, or lost,or very poor phase angle, I think I have observed all what is currently observable. (2) 90057 observed at a range of about 38000 kms. I had to use the automatic tracking system which integrates satellites magnitudes by tracking on the satellite. This satellite was too faint to image with the telescope stationary. Satellite is variable. (3) MITEX 2 (#29241) very easy when at a reasonable phase angle. (4) Reason for so many strays is that the CCD camera has a wide field of view so plenty of commercial geostationary satellites etc seen - sometimes have as many as 8 satellites in a field. (5) 90070 NOT seen so looks like running quite a way off - will probably switch to the Nikon lens , field of view 5.2 x 3.8 degrees for next tracking session.
