Open skies after a rainy day.
Unfortunately there were al lot of contrails
later accompanied by natural clouds
causing me to stop my observing by UT midnight.

Nice flashing object, at least during this transit:
Timings:
[Flash mag 0 0.86 17.71] [16.37 1.30] [17.47 flash mag 2 1.71]

94- 78 B 23412 Geo-Ik rocket [Tsyklon]
This time the faint flashes were more convincing than during previous
observations
on this sat. I estimated the optical period as I was not able to count.
