After a long time for me, TDF 2 has appeared flashing here! It has one of the shortest flash periods of this type of object. The last flash was seen with 8x42 on the previous night was at 4:25:24; the following was almost 20 minutes later. I think there was a 3/4-period phase shift before beginning the count for the following PPAS report for it: TDF 2 (20705) -- 90- 63 A 04-07-14 04:44:40.5 EC 239.5 0.2 11 21.77 +4.0->i Raw times: 4:37:03.72 -- 21.69, 21.83, 21.72, 21.76, 21.66, 168.66 (7.75 cycles), 21.74, 22.04, 21.41, 21.88, 21.71, 21.71, 21.72, 87.27 (getting faint, 4 cycles) -- 4:44:40.55 Superbird A (20040), Fred saw some flashes without binoculars -- 89- 41 A 04-07-14 03:48:43 EC 437.0 0.2 39 11.21 +3.5->i Gorizont 29 (22907) flash period has slowed -- 93- 72 A 04-07-13 04:54:01 EC 965.6 0.2 12 80.47 +6.0->i PPAS format: http://users.skynet.be/satimage/bwgs/ppasformat.txt BCRC, 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
