I should have put a "smiley" with that one.  The flash may last a full
second.

Yes, and the night after the report of 189, I got 190 seconds!  This is
one 
for which I ought to try to calculate from one night to the next when to
look
so as to get better clicks, since there are so few.

I need to make a correction about Insat 2D -- just that I observed the
four 
flashes from San Antonio, not Austin, Texas.
