I was able to see GSTAR 1 (85-035A, 15677) again last night, 4:19 to 4:27 August 24 UTC, flash period about 54.5 seconds. I found that Yuri 3B's (91-060A, 21668) "real" flash period seems to be about 367.7, so it's interesting that the shorter intervals of about 73.5 and 147 seconds are 1/5 and 2/5! What happened was that for the last 20 minutes though I tried to see it every 73 seconds, the only flashes I saw were every 367.7 seconds. When I first looked there were some 73.5 seconds apart, or I would not have seen it at all. Raduga 33 (96-010A, 23794) ----- 3:13:12.39 -1 33.40 3:13:45.79 -2 33.65 3:14:19.44 +2? In spite of the conditions not being great due to scattered cloud and very high humidity, I was also able to see Gorizont 23 (91-046A, 21533), whose brightest maxima aren't as bright as those of Yuri 3B and GSTAR 1. Observed from E. Ney Museum grounds: 30.307N, 97.727W, 150m.
