Poor DRA Observations

Hi: Thanks for pointing-out the correct format for the flash intervals. I must
have misread your intro but cannot leave this window to look at it.
I have looked at each video snippet many times and I would be trying to pull
the wool over someones eyes if I claimed any higher accuracy than what I have
already reported. All 3 satellites had flat maxima and minima. Believe me,
the data is recorded accurately enough to give you 0.1 sec. times if the
satellite had a nice spike in its flash pattern - but they did not.
How do the visual observers handle these flat maxima & minima? Could their
technique be applied to a video recording?
I am hesitant to continue observations (of this type) if you don't think they
are accurate enough (or depend on future efforts). Ideas?
