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.
