Just a few occasional small clouds made it an other splendid observation
night.

Tried to time every flash. Some of the brighter flashes were double, only
timed the first. Several flashes came too unexpected and were not timed.
Timings of the observed flashes:
7.97 7.17 7.54 7.40 7.92 7.39 4.27 3.54 5.23 3.31
6.22 8.45 4.19 2.60 11.91 3.21 8.11 3.53 3.45 7.97
3.80 3.48 8.31 3.67 3.15 8.22 3.49 3.95 3.05 4.61
3.46 4.28 3.07 4.08 3.86 4.03 3.86 3.91 3.66 4.04
I'll run Bjoerns Synodic program this evening to determine a possible
better fitting number of flashes
94- 85 B 99-04-19 21:25:42 LB 122.2 0.5 6 20.4 AA, mag 4->7

99- 20 A 99-04-19 20:36 LB slowly var, mag 4->7
99- 20 B 99-04-19 20:27 LB almost S, mag 6
Using the TLE's Tristan posted yesterday I saw both objects.
However 99- 20 A was on time and varied due to change of phase angle,
but 99- 20 B was about 4 minutes late.
Sateliite watching is a fasenating hobby.
Greetings and clear, dark skies
