The evening of April 13th looked promissing, but the clouds didn't break enough. Just saw ISS making a nice pass through the clouds. This morning it was clear, but cold, around the freezing point. Towards dawn more and more thin clouds appear. 00- 55 A 01-04-14 01:57 LB S, 5 66- 56 B 01-04-14 02:46:38 LB 93.7 0.5 2 46.9 FF, 5->i, sm, 6 In between a very faint, flat secondary max 70-106 B 01-04-14 02:31:11 LB 92.1 2.0 1 92 MM, 5->7 71- 86 J 01-04-14 02:10 LB S, 7 76- 19 A 01-04-14 02:19:10 LB 160.3 0.2 68 2.358 Ff, 4(5)->i After the first 30 flashes; the sat started to give a train of very rapid flashes of <0.1 sec; thereafter I counted another 20 flashes.
