Hi Everyone,
    I observed the Cosmos 2369 rocket a little while
ago.  It was my first time timing flash period, so
this might be less accurate than usual but... I got 15
flashes in 41.91 seconds, yielding a 2.8 second flash
period.  This tumbler continues to slow down pretty
regularly.  Ed Cannon on June 16 found a 1.2 second
period.  I figured this would be a good pass to try my
hand at a flash timing, because it was pretty bright
and very cloth to zenith.  Hopefully I will be able to
see the shuttle in shadow tonight, but my best pass is
very low to the horizon so it might be too dim.
