    Observations of satellites with (more or less) periodic brightness
    variations. All observations by 7 x 50 binoculars.
    The reported times are those of the last timed maximum.
    Unless they have format hh:mm then it is an approximate time.

    Notes:
    1) 2008-014B:  after 21:06:08.4: start of secondary maxima. These are sharper.
     after 21:06:51.3: sec.max brighter than prim. max. +4.0
     after that they were fainter and disappeared probably (after I
     recorded my last prim. max)
    2) 1996-071B: large variety in times between maxima:
     12.03 8.52 9.76 8.68 10.96 9.42 11.86 7.86
    3) 1994-089A: flashes picked up and identified object afterwards.
     Times between flashes:
     32 84 13 5 8 22 17 (from voice recording, no stopwatch)

    I hope this e-mail is received correctly.
    I sent it to myself first and found several couples of lines put as one line,
    which I corrected before forwarding this.
