Notes:
1) Using Mike's latest, it looks like 21147 may have picked up another 2
seconds,
   barring errors in my timings??

2) 05682, I have yet to run a check on this one to make sure I didn't catch
something
   else in the vicinity.  The elset is old and this is within ten seconds of its 
   prediction.

I did not time the length of the max's, but they were on the order of 10 to
15 seconds at 2.0, visible naked eye from here. The first -3.0 flare, I was
able to photograph near Arcturus, I'll post it if it comes out.
