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.
