    For those who like rapidly flashing ones, if you haven't
looked at Feng Yun 1D Rk (02-024C, 27431), you should 
before it slows down a lot more.  It's already down to
about 1.6 seconds.  Last night I was able, just barely
for some seconds, to see its maxima without binoculars.  

USA 160 A and C (01-040A and C, 26905, 26907) flared to 
at least +3 last night, when they were about 50 degrees 
up in the SW.  I was able to see them without binoculars 
for much of the pass.

It was the prettiest night that we have had in weeks
(maybe months?) -- a good stretch of the Milky Way was 
visible from the suburbs!  

Observing site:  30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
