The maxes (3.5) were about 1.5 secs in duration and 7.5 secs apart followed
by the m's (4.5) to inv. then repeated. I observed two of the Max patterns
with the mins in between. An error of 1 to 2 secs can be inferred
as this was a first obs. I will attempt a more accurate obs as I can.
Elevation from 26.5 to 38.2, sun angle 22.6. The object enters shadow
quickly at this locale at this time.
