    Last night I was trying to see Yuri 3A but saw something south 
    of its position.  The position seems to be a good match with 
    GSTAR 1 (85-035A, 15677), but not the flash period, which was 
    about 54.5 seconds, with some half-period secondaries visible 
    at first (in 10x50 binoculars).  At least one flash must have
    been at least +3.5.  I reported these for GSTAR 1 in 2000:
    
    85- 35 A 00-06-08 03:42:28.6 EC  652.5 0.2   9 72.50  mag +3.5->inv
    85- 35 A 00-06-14 03:02:29.7 EC  645.2 0.2   9 71.69  mag +3.5->inv
    
    It was roughly 6.5 minutes earlier per night back then.
