[FPSPACE] Astra group obs

[satcom]

Despite a bright moon and patchy cloud , Nebula M42 (Great Orion )  , 
sitting just above the geo arc , looked somewhat whispy last night

Meanwhile , using the same camera settings.... the Astra group at 19 east 
was dominated by the bright 1B still out to the east at about 19.4E

1B remains considerably brighter than the rest of the fleet.
