Hopping on the Cosmos 2282 bandwagon, I observed it for about 26 minutes last night. The flashes varied from +4 to +6 and occasionally invisible (i.e. flashes were ~41 sec apart). There didn't seem to be any particular pattern to the magnitude of the flashes. Measured 75 periods in 1565 seconds for a 20.867s rate. For the first time, I used my GPS receiver to do the timing. I marked a waypoint with the receiver at the start and end of my timing period and since it records the time with the waypoint it was easy enough to obtain the timing info after the fact.
