    Was surprised to see both Monday night from Tulsa (COSPAR 8336). Stuck on
    the road, yahoo posting from me have not been getting through, so I don't
    have the exact times for Kosmos 2105 (20941), but it was around 0:50 UT,
    with 8 flashes from +2 to +8, ending near iota Aqr. So I finally saw a
    "half-geosync", it moved noticeably between flashes unlike the steady drift
    you see with real geosyncs.
    
    Got one point on XSS-11 (28636)- it was very difficult, with one short flare
    at this position, then 3 short (<0.5 s) flashes as it moved north, then
    nothing. But I did finally see it!
