    Amazed that I could see M17 from light polluted NYC
with my Obie 15x70's, I lingered there a while and
suddenly saw a flashing geo sync at about 1:30 (6:30
UT) this morning.  It had a flash period of about 22 -
23 seconds.

RA 18h 21m
Dec -16deg 43'

Flashed consistenly at about 22 seconds and was
consistently bright.  
Seemed to be stationary.  My location is 40.58N
-74.16W.
