hello,

91- 19 B = 21153 = SL-8/C1 rocket
This evening I had a nice pass of 91- 19 B.  The measured period
was about 18 seconds again (with some inaccuracies because of 
synodic effect).  So we defenitely need more observations to see
if the acceleration has halted or not.

This evening I had a high pass and could determine a period of 36s with
some secundary maxima (sm), so yesterday I probably so such a secundary
maxima between the clouds.  It is also not clear if this one is 
still accelerating or not.  TO BE OBSERVED !
Jan Vansteelandt observed it at about 37 seconds this evening.
