Early on 30 August UTC I observed 97-52C (24955, Cosmos 2346 Rk, an "SL-8") to be tumbling with a period of just under 20 seconds. The maxima were faintly visible at one-power from the nearby museum grounds (30.3068N, 97.7267W, 150m), so they must have been at least +3.5. 97- 52 C 99-08-30 03:02:21 EC 78.6 0.5 4 19.6 mag +3.5->inv At roughly 2:06:30 to 2:07:00 UTC there were three one-power objects in view, GRO (21225, 91-27B), Meteor 1-8 Rk (05143, 71-31B), and a +2.5 UNID traveling from SW towards N which later checking seems to identify as 21423, 91-42B, Cosmos 2151 Rk -- about 3 magnitudes brighter than predictions. It was easy one-power for 30 to 60 seconds. I didn't come up with any other candidate for this bright object. I appreciate Mike McCants mentioning a couple of my obs. from Saturday night, when I accidentally zeroed the times on my stopwatch. Also, watching Gorizont 17 was about as easy at it gets for a geosynch object -- just little to the lower right of the second red light from the top of the radio tower, and there it was, very easy to find in binocs. I believe without the moonlight the primary maxima would have been one-power. It wasn't so easy Sunday evening, and I didn't find it from my more light-polluted location in town.
