    Up to -3 (-4?) magnitude flashes from Orion 3 (99-024A, 25727) 
    occurred at 2004-05-16 04:09:13.6, 04:09:29.6, 04:11:13.4, 
    and 04:11:29.4 and some fainter secondaries were visible.  
    Its flash period seems to be speeding up.
    
    Here are timings of one-power flashes of Iridium 914 (97-030A, 
    24836) which to me form a kind of interesting sequence.  The 
    starting time was 2004-05-16 03:22:19.10 -- 11.60, 11.71, 
    13.29, 3.31, 8.35, 3.20, 8.57, 3.11, 11.73, 13.44, 11.60.  
    
    No remarkable flashes this time from IRS-P2 (94-068A, 23323).
    
    No flashes at all from C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) -- borderline visible
    without magnification, it seemed, from the suburbs (looking 
    west, away from the city).  
    
    Observed from BCRC: 30.315N, 97.866W, 280m.
